Bike Repair Clinics

Bike Repair Clinics


Regular maintenance prolongs the life of your bike components and avoids costly repairs. Become familiar with the mechanical skills required to maintain and repair your bike. Clinics can be taken individually or combined on weekends.

These clinics take place in our fully-equipped bike shop facility. The emphasis is on hands-on learning, so please remember to:

  • wear appropriate clothing
  • bring your own bicycle for all clinics (bikes should be free of mud and dirt)
