Enrollment Open!
Next class will be offered February 20th - March 26th,

D.E.F. class takes the foundational knowledge you already posses as an intermediate bicycle mechanic and builds on it, taking you further than you thought you could go. The class focuses on current bicycle technology and advanced repair techniques. D.E.F. is considered a class for those with basic level of experience and comfort with bike repair, but it is still a safe and fun environment designed to help all students to grow as mechanics.
TRUE THAT! (Bicycle Wheel)
Wheel truing can be challenging to master but it can also be so much fun! Let’s work together to demystify this challenging but valuable skill! Once you get started you might find it hard to stop. Take this one day class and learn how to true a wheel in all directions and how to check and adjust spoke tension to make your wheel sing! This class is an excellent introduction for those interested in taking the Build a Wheel class.
BUILD THAT! (Bicycle Wheel)
Are you ready to take your repair skills to the next level? Nothing builds skill and comfort with wheels like building your own! Still working on your wheel truing chops? Building a wheel is the best way to learn. Get in touch with your wheel self and learn all there is to know about joining rims, spokes and hubs to build a wheel.
VOLUNTEER WORKTRADE STRUCTURE
Bike Works offers reduced fees for our adult classes in return for volunteer service. The volunteer worktrade model is a way for us to give back to our volunteers and to invite our students to participate in our volunteer community.
VOLUNTEER REPAIR PARTIES
Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 9:30pm and Sunday mornings from 10:00am to 1:00pm, Bike Works hosts a drop-in bike repair party. Come on down and wrench with us, hang out with us and snack with us! Our new Tuesday volunteer event is bilingual--Spanish speakers are welcome!
