Intensive Bicycle Repair Class

It all starts with a little winter boredom, a wrench, and the thought “Maybe I’ll take my bike apart for a little pre-season cleaning….” Followed by, “Damn, how does that go back together again?”

This course is designed for anyone who would like to boldly learn the basics of bicycle repair and maintenance in a friendly and supportive environment. You will get real, hands-on experience using your own bike, becoming comfortable on keeping it running smoothly and clean between major tune-ups.


DON’T BE THAT PERSON! Learn how to put it all back together so you’re ride ready at our Bicycle Repair Intensive Class at Syracuse Bicycle.


COST: TBD – includes Park Tool Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair

This series of 3 sessions cover the anatomy of the bicycle and bicycle tool use, going well beyond the basics of flat repair and lubrication, delving into brake and derailleur adjustments and the many details that escape notice until expensive parts need to be replaced. With this basic skill set, you’ll be ready to diagnose and repair common problems, becoming a more confident and empowered cyclist.
