    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.

    This workshop is for people who'd like to get a bit of help in
    improving their urban cycling skills. This isn't about becoming
    professional road cyclists or mountain bikers. It's about becoming a
    comfortable and self-assured cyclist on Toronto's roads.

    Ever wonder what is the safest position on the road? Would you like to
    ride in colder weather but not sure how to do it safely? Do you want
    to know how to reduce your chances of a collision or what to do if you
    are in a collision?

    We hope to give you more tools to become an effective and self-assured
    cyclist. The workshop is structured so you get a lot of information
    from the experienced instructors as well as have the opportunity to
    share experiences with other students to come up with practical and
    effective strategies for cycling in Toronto. All of our instructors
    have had at least CAN-Bike 2 training.

    The price is $30 per person with a maximum class size of 8. Please
    RSVP so we know we can meet the minimum class size of 4 people.

    Upcoming Dates\:

  • Tuesday\, December 16\, 2008
  • Tuesday\, January 13\, 2009
  • Tuesday\, February 3\, 2009

    \\"\\"

    We'll be screening the movie that made the Community Bicycle Network famous! Come watch Tales of a Yellow Bike - the movie about CBN's BikeShare program and about one yellow bike as it travels the world.

    We'll also have hot chocolate\, apple cider and snacks for all!

    Where\: CBN\, 761 Queen Street West\, Toronto.

    Summary\:
    In a world of automobiles\, can one woman on a yellow bike make a difference? Perhaps not. But a fleet of bikes might create a new model for sustainable transportation.

    Tales of a Yellow Bike travels the world with Maogosha Pyjor looking for a chain reaction in the realm of pedal politics as the Community Bike Network in Toronto contemplates options for its BikeShare program.

    Tales of a Yellow Bike was produced by Tina Hahn and company of Symmetree Media.
