Our Classes
Basic Bike Maintenance

Advanced Bike Mechanics Class
This 16-hour class offers a deeper level of mechanical practice. It is for the advanced home mechanic or someone looking to build a career with bicycles.
Wheel Building Class
This 8-hour class offers the full experience of wheel building science and technique. Students will learn about different types of rims, spokes, lacing patterns, calculating spoke lengths, spoke tension, wheel dishing, tools and spoke thread preparation. Over the course of the day, every student will build a wheel from start to finish.
Smart Cycling – Bicycling Traffic Skills
This full-day class provides each student with personal experience and perspective as a cyclist in traffic flow. It builds intuition on cyclist issues such as: door zones, lane positioning, communication with motorists, complex intersections, parking, signage, bike lanes, and multi-use paths/trails. Since all these issues affect cyclist safety and “bikeability” of our cities, this course is a “must.” It also covers basic bicycle safety check and handling skills.
This is a program of the American Bicycling Education Association, taught by officially certified instructors.
CyclingSavvy
CyclingSavvy is a comprehensive bicycling traffic safety course for adults and teenagers. It offers bicyclists of any level, the tools to build confidence and foster cooperation with other drivers on the road.
What takes CyclingSavvy a step further is a communication skill set that prevents motorist frustration and creates positive interactions for bicycle riders.
This is a program of the League of American Bicyclists, taught by a League cycling instructor.
