In preparation for Bike to Work Week (May 31-June 6) and Bike Month (June), the City of Vancouver’s Sustainability Group is offering a two-hour bike maintenance workshop from the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition at the Vancouver Public Library’s Central Branch.
Demystifying Your Bike: The Basics of Bike Maintenance
This fun, interactive workshop takes the mystery out of the bicycle. Participants bring their bikes and we show them how to do a basic inspection to make sure it’s in good running order. They learn how to clean and oil their bike, check their brakes and gears, and a few other tricks to make their riding experience more enjoyable. We cover fixing the dreaded flat tire (not really such a big deal after all!), and help participants decide when it’s a good idea to take their bike to the shop.
Date: Wednesday, May 19th
Time: 5:15 pm – 7:15 pm
