We are so excited to be hosting a One-Night Stand bike mechanic training course for queer folks, women, and gender expansive people. We know that bike shops can be such an intimidating place for folks. We want this class to be a place where folks can thrive and also be comfortable in asking questions and learning about bikes. Here you will learn a basic understanding of your bike and knowing how to care for it. Hopefully you'll find it empowering to both you and your ride.
The One-Night Stand will provide useful skills and knowledge that every bicycle user should have, such as:
How to remove and reinstall wheels
How to fix a flat tire
How to clean and care for your chain and gears
How to perform a safety check
How to keep a regular bicycle cleaning routine (and what is and is not important to clean)
And how to diagnose common problems
This clinic will be hosted in the Old Spokes Home Community Workshop at 664 Riverside Drive. Bike stands, class bikes, tools and supplies will be provided and to maximize direct instruction, class size will be limited to 6 participants. Cost is $40. Scholarships are available for individuals for whom this fee represents a barrier to participation. For those interested in a scholarship, please complete this additional sign-up form -https://forms.gle/yJUDGWwNVnxnRhDZA - and a promo code will be provided.
All participants will also receive a 20%-off voucher for tools after completion of the clinic valid for up to one week after the class.
