Join Our October Tune Up Class!!!

Our two-part bicycle Tune Up Class is taught by an experienced Recyclery crew mechanic. This class will introduce you to basic bicycle maintenance. We’ll cover tool and component terminology, fixing a flat, chain maintenance, brake pad replacement, and basic shifting adjustments. These classes will be held the Sunday evenings of October 14th and 21st, 6-9PM. Cost for the two session course is $75.

With this purchase you can add The Recyclery t-shirt and Jay Ryan poster for only $20 – half the regular price!

Bring your own bike to the class. We do not have storage, but we try to make sure it’s ridable by the end of each session. Geared bicycles are recommended over single speeds or fixed gears. We will provide hand-outs to help with learning.

HAPPENING IMMINENTLY! Fall Overhaul Class!!

We’ve just scheduled our next Overhaul Class!

Our six-session Fall Overhaul Class will be taught by Martin. Classes are Sunday afternoons 2-5 PM. You’ll learn how to disassemble, reassemble, and adjust each major mechanical system of your bicycle, week-by-week. We recommend taking the Tune Up Class before this one, if you have never fixed a flat.

Bring your own bike to the class to work on as we go along. We do not have storage, but we try to make sure it’s ridable by the end of each session. Geared bicycles are recommended over single speeds or fixed gears. We will provide hand-outs to help with learning. We’ll also provide new cables and housing for the Overhaul Class.

This class is somewhat cumulative; each week the topics build on knowledge gained in the previous week. If you have to miss a session we will make an effort to catch you up in the free hour before class the following week, but if you miss several classes in a row you risk falling behind.

Cost for this six-session class is $180 (more if you can, or contact us to negotiate less, if you can’t), or $200 when you add on The Recyclery t-shirt and Jay Ryan poster. Attendance is limited, so please use the ticket link below to register, today!

When?
Sunday afternoons from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, from Sep 9th through Oct 7th, skipping Oct 14th, final session Oct 21st.
