This weekly skill share offers a practical, welcoming class in bike mechanics designed to help people maintain and repair their own bicycles with confidence. Sessions focus on real world upkeep such as fixing flats and replacing tubes, checking tire pressure and selecting suitable tires, making basic rim and disc brake adjustments, tuning shifting and derailleurs, caring for chains through cleaning, lubrication, and replacement, performing bolt checks and essential safety inspections, and tracking down squeaks, rattles, and other issues that can stop a ride. Participants also learn how to tell when a bike is not safe to use and which repairs can be handled at home versus those that are better left to a professional. Bring your own bike or practice on a shop bike, and plan to learn by doing with tools provided. Questions are encouraged, and everyone can get hands on time with the tools while learning together, mistakes included. All skill levels are welcome, and no prior experience is required. Bringing any needed parts is helpful. The aim is to share knowledge, build confidence, and keep more bikes rolling, with a focus on mutual aid, self reliance, and community rather than perfection. Curiosity and a bicycle are all that is needed.
