Intro to Bike Mechanics
check the programs calendar for dates and registration!
During four interactive sessions, you’ll learn about bike tools, parts and the inner workings of our two-wheeled friends. Workshops run for four weeks on a set days.
Knowledgeable mechanics will guide you through the basics of repairing and maintaining each system on the bicycle. Demonstrations are provided in a friendly and supportive environment with small class sizes.
Everyone is welcome! No bike or previous experience is required! If you do own a bike, the skills you learn in this class on our demo bikes will be transferable to your own bike. We feel confident that you will feel confident to repair your bike in our shop after you take this class!
Please note we do NOT cover hydraulic braking systems, shocks, tubeless tire set-ups, etc. If you have questions about the curriculum please email us at admin@thebikekitchen.ca

Bike Basics
WORKSHOPS OPEN: check the programs calendar for dates and registration!
Bike Basics is our most beginner level workshop. This is a great workshop to begin to learn how to maintain your bicycle and get to know the Bike Kitchen and the services we provide. Using demo bicycles, we will be covering a range of topics to assist you in preventative maintenance of your bicycle - knowing the basics will help you save costs in the long-run and have a more enjoyable and smooth ride.
How much air should I put in my tires? Why is my chain squeaky and what can I do about it? What is this knocking sound coming from my pedals?
If these are some questions you’re asking yourself, then Bike Basics is a great first step into the wonderful world of bicycle maintenance!
