Learn to Tune-Up Your Bike

We’ll get your bike cleaned up and ready for the summer. Includes cleaning, tire inflation (and tube replacement if needed), brake adjustment, gear tuning, minor wheel straightening, cable tightening and adjustment (replacement if needed), chain lubrication, and seat setup.  

We’ll show you how to properly set your bike up for your body – especially if you are a young person who grew over the winter!  Not only will we do all the tuning up we’ve described above, but we’ll show YOU how to do it. Afterwards, you’ll be able to do all of those things for yourself!

Once your bike is ready for the season, check out our Bike Setup, Safety, and Repair course to go into more detail and make sure you understand all the finer points!

Introduction to Bike Setup, Safety, & Repair

Biking season is upon us! This year, start your cycling adventures off right by attending one of our Workshops.

We’ll show you how to properly set your bike up for your body – especially if you are a young person who grew over the winter! We can show you how to do cable replacements, brake adjustments, chain maintenance, tire changing, and even minor wheel-truing. Afterwards, you’ll be able to do all of those things for yourself!

Once your bike is ready for the season, join us on a ride or two to learn some riding technique and how to navigate efficiently and safely in an urban environment. Your cycle commutes, workouts, and just-for-fun rides will be vastly improved!
