We are now offering classes in bike repair that build on our introductory (‘Flat-fix and Tune-up’) 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.

Registration is required with a $10 deposit. You are not registered until confirmed in person with the deposit in our hands.

Cash is preferred, though Paypal is also now an option (see the Donate option on the sidebar to the left of this page). There is no tax on these classes.

The classes will BEGIN at 7pm, please plan to arrive no less than 5 minutes before.
