Facilitating the workshop will be bike mechanics Liz & BobWölfé. We will be
mostly covering "on the road" repairs/maintenance such as fixing
flats, adjusting brakes and dérailleurs, using a small chain tool and more. We
will also cover basic spring cleanup/repairs. However, if you need to
replace parts, they will not be available at this workshop. We will be open to
answering any and all bike repair questions as time permits. <br>
<br>
This event is open to anyone interested. <b><i>We are also encouraging folks who are
planning on doing the BikeIt! ride to Detroit to take this workshop, in order
to gain the skills necessary to maintain your bike during a long bike tour. </i></b></p>
