This class is for women with some experience working on their bikes, or for those who have already taken the basic 4-week course. Ever wondered how on earth you straighten your wheel when it gets wobbly? Or you've heard that such a mystery can be enacted, but haven't had the nerve to try it on your own wheels? Find out how you'll know IF a damaged wheel can be saved! Come prepared for hands-on, and bring your bike if you can. Fee for this class only: $15. Time: 6:30pm to 8:30pm Location: Community Bicycle Network Find more info about Wenches with Wrenches here. | ||

We are now offering classes in bike repair that build on our introductory (‘Flat-fix/Intro to Bike Repair') class. Registrants should be familiar and comfortable with the subject of that class before taking the intermediate class(es). The classes are taught by experienced mechanics and provide an intimate, focused, learning environment. The number of participants is limited to 6 per class. The instructors are qualified professionals. The class outline is structured and focused to cover as much as possible in a relatively short amount of time. As a beginner to bike repair, we expect you will learn a lot and come away feeling much more comfortable with the workings of your machine. It is also an ideal refresher for someone who has taken a class in the past, or has some limited, but spotty experience. You will almost certainly learn some new techniques and tricks. Intermediate Workshops 1 and 2 do not have to be taken together or in order. Please bring your bike if possible. You will probably get dirty, so dress accordingly! The class location is: CBN Intersection, 761 Queen Street West, Toronto. | ||
