ALL MAINTENANCE CLASSES ARE ON HOLD FOR 2021. WE PLAN TO OFFER THESE CLASSES AGAIN STARTING APRIL 2022.
With our current capacity we are prioritizing youth programming and very new riders. We appreciate your understanding! Here are some other great resources in the area for bike maintenance:
Bike Works- an awesome bike non-profit located in Columbia City, currently offering in-person maintenance classes
Sharing Wheels- a community bike shop in Everett offering great beginner maintenance classes
The Bikery- a volunteer-run bike space where you can donate to use their fix-it stands and tools. Great for riders who would like to work on their own repairs but would like a guiding hand if they get stuck. :)
