Do you love to bike but feel mystified by how your bike actually works? Does the idea of going into a bike shop to ask a question make you nervous? Come to this class to learn the basics of YOUR own bike. You won&#39;t leave knowing how to build a bike from the frame up, but you will leave knowing some common issues and how to ask for help with them. You will also have an opportunity to get your hands dirty while learning how and when to properly oil a chain and learn about the components of your bike.&nbsp; Please note: This class will not cover issues related to hydraulic disc brakes or suspension. What to bring: Your bike! &nbsp;If you have a multi tool or tube repair kit or any other tools that you carry with you but don&#39;t quite know how to use, bring them along as well! Also we recommend bringing along some dinner or snack items if you would like. When:&nbsp;Wednesday, October 22, class is 6:00-8:00 pm with an optional extra hour for questions and wrenching from 8:00-9:00 pm.&nbsp; Where: The Hub Community Bike Shop Who: This is a class for adult (18+) women, non-binary, and femme-identifying folks. About the Instructor: Our class is taught by the wonderful Melanie Danner! Melanie has lived in Bellingham for 19 years and spent the first 7 or so working at The Hub Bike Shop repairing and building bikes, and teaching folks how to work on their own bikes. For a few years between 2013 and 2016 she also ran a small project called Sterling Bike Works, providing used bikes to kids and teaching them how to ride safely and work on their own bikes. In 2013 she attended the United Bicycle Institute&#39;s Professional Repair Course and earned a Bicycle Technician Certification. Child-rearing and gainful employment have drawn her away from wrenching for a number of years but she is excited for the opportunity to once again help folks become familiar with the basic functioning of their beloved bikes!
