Description
Our next Tune-Up class will meet for three Mondays in July from 7pm to 9:30pm. The exact dates are July 7th, 14th, and 21st.Here are more details about the class. It will be limited to 8 people, and will be held at the Bike Kitchen, which is located on Laskie Alley off of Mission St between 8th and 9th. This class is open to all women, transfolks, genderqueer folk, femmes, and other people who've had gender bias, homophobia, or transphobia keep them away from the wrenches! Class will be hands-on, so bring a bike and get ready to get greasy. Over the 3 weeks, it will cover what is included in a basic shop tune-up: installing and removing tubes and tires (i.e. fixing a flat), installing brake and shift cables, adjusting brakes and gears, chain maintenance, truing wheels, etc.
The fee for this class is sliding scale, and is $40-80 for current Bike Kitchen members, or $70-110 for non Bike Kitchen members (although a year-long membership comes with the class). No previous knowledge about bikes is required or expected. But a willingness to learn and have fun is a must!
