About this event

Simple maintenance done at home can help keep your beautiful freedom machine running in tip top shape. Learn how to get started at the Bike Fun Basic Bike Maintenance class at Trinity Community Commons.

Ages 13 and up are welcome, though please note this is not a youth-focused class.

Learn how to fix a flat and properly inflate your tires; clean a chain and diagnose chain wear; and discover all the parts that make up your bicycle. Bring your bike or use one of ours.

Please bring an old t-shirt and a toothbrush.

Students will receive maintenance supplies of their own to bring home.

Limited to 7 students; sliding scale ticket fee of $25-35.

We will have some time after the end of the class for questions.

This event will be held INSIDE. If you feel sick, stay home.

Frequently asked questions

Should I bring my bicycle?

Absolutely! Roll it right in. If you need help bringing it in, let us know.

Should I bring tools?

If you have tools for your bike that you'd like to use or if you have questions about the tools you have, feel free to bring them.

What else do I need to bring?

Bring an old t-shirt (regular cotton, not synthetic fabric) and a couple of used toothbrushes (cleaned in the dishwasher or otherwise).

What should I wear?

Wear clothes that you are comfortable in and don't mind getting greasy.

I can't afford the registration fee right now, but would still like to attend.
