Fix a flat tire repair night for women and gender minorities

Learn the fundamental skill of fixing a flat

Saturday June 27, 6pm at our community bike shop

We invite people who are women or gender minorities for a repair night to learn the essential skill of flat tire repair.

This clinic seeks to make space for people who haven't traditionally been a dominant presence in bike repair to use our workshop guided by volunteers who are also women or gender variant.

So if you've never fixed a flat or just want to brush up on your technique, sign up and join us on the evening of Saturday June 27 at 6pm!

More to follow throughout the summer

Have you been wondering when our next Bike 101 course will be? Courses have been filling up so fast from the waitlist that many haven’t made it to our courses page! But we’re happy to announce we have more coming up in the next few weeks:

Bike Repair 201: Derailleurs and Shifting - Saturday June 20th 9am-12pm

The 201 level courses cover specific areas of repair in detail and we run them when we have enough demand for one of these topics, so please let us know if you’re interested.

In the summer, we run Bike 101 roughly every few weeks. If you’re finding the Bike 101 sections fill up before you hear about them, email our course coordinator and we'll add you to the waitlist.
