Late Mar / all of April handling and Repair Classes

[briandlacy]

With the NW spring weather arriving soon (that off and on dream . . .), here are a few cycling skills classes that may be of interest to you and yours.


These are designed for novices and the semi-skilled of either gender, taught in a direct, jargon- and judgment-free environment.






Adult Bicycle Repair Classes
This class on Sunday March 22nd from 9-5 pm has one seat left. By the end of this class you will have your own tools and will have learned these skills on your bike:
o fix a flat with one tool,
o adjust all bearings, gears, brakes and all nuts and bolts,
o remove/replace your chain,
o true wheels AND
o how to anticipate future mechanical needs.

Class comes with a 5 page ‘how to’ – invaluable, detailed reminder sheets.

There is a bit more room in the weekday evening Repair classes that follow on Tues March 24th and Weds March 25th, and again on Mon March 30th and Tues March 31st – from 530 to 830 pm. All classes are at the BIKEmpowered bicycle school space – 5035 NE 23rd Ave Portland, OR 97211 - just north of Alberta on NE 23rd Ave.

LifeCycling Class
The next open LifeCycling class is April 4th. This 8 hour intensive has a little before-class homework, then I coach you through these 4 stages:

1. Motivation/CyclingMindset skills.
2. Planning every trip detail so you deal deftly with any ride.
3. Crash-free Forever Rodeo, where you learn expert handling skills in “car talk”.
4. Roadside Repair skills to fix flats, adjust gears, brakes and wheels.
