Want to learn how to fix your bike?  Your favorite Common Cycle mechanics will be teaching a bike maintenance class this fall! The class starts next wednesday, Sept. 14, at 6 PM (so sign up now!–scroll down to “bike clinic”) and is a collaboration with UM’s Outdoor Adventures Program. The 5-week series will go something like this:

• 9/14: Basic care, cleaning, and maintenance
• 9/21: wheels, tires, tubes, and intro to hubs
• 9/28: Hubs, Bottom Brackets, and Headsets
• 10/5: Brakes and Derailleurs
• 10/12: Cranks/chainrings, Handlebars, stems, shifters, levers

There is a fee: $5 per class, or $20 for the whole shebang, but that money will go towards snacks and beverages for an optional post-or-mid-series bike ride (or other activity, depending on weather and folks’ preferences).
