Community Workshop: TBD
Have a bike that's got a flat tire? Or want to be prepared for navigating one on your way to work or school? What tools should you bring?
We'll help you know how to get rolling again with a hands-on free community workshop!
We’ll take you step by step on how to remove your wheels, replace tires and tubes, and reinstall your wheel. If you want to learn how to fix a flat tire, or just need a refresher on how to do some trail-side repair, this class is for you!
Bring your own bike - flat tire or not - to get experience removing the wheels and learning nuances of your bike. If you don't have a bike or can't bring it, no worries - we'll have one for you to practice on!
