Our course is an intensive, hands-on, 11-day immersion in bicycle mechanics. Current and aspiring mechanics will gain practical knowledge and experience with all major bicycle components, including frames, bearings, wheels, drive trains, brakes and shifting systems, on a variety of bicycle styles and vintages. Two days are devoted to the skilled craft of repairing and building wheels, including the design and selection of components for specific uses.
Mechanics also gain a solid understanding of bicycle materials, design and trade-offs associated with different intended usages, from weekend cruising in the park to competing in triathlons.
Selecting and using task-specific tools, along with organizing and running the service department, are all part of the learning experience as well. Our students graduate ready to confidently assemble, troubleshoot and repair bicycles of all types.
