Our popular course, Hands-on Intro to Bike Maintenance, returns this year with multiple dates and locations to choose from. This 3-hour class is a great place to start if you have little or no experience working on bikes and includes:
- cleaning and lubrication,
- how to fix a flat tire,
- basic brake and gearing adjustments, and
- how to spot small problems before they become big problems.
Bring your bike so you can learn about your specific components, or you can work on one of EBC's bikes. A review booklet is also included in case you need a refresher down the road.
Already know some bike repair basics and want to take your skills to the next level? Check out our Advanced Bike Mechanics classes.

- Wheels (bearings and truing),
- Gearing & Derailleurs,
- Brakes, Headsets & Bottom Brackets, and
- Wheel Building.
