Bike Repair Class
The Bicycle Repair Class is nine weeks long and held quarterly every Thursday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at our main community bike shop at 216 E. Grove Street. The class requires a refundable $50 deposit upon completion of 8 volunteer hours at RBP following the bike repair class.
Each week covers a different mechanical system on the bicycle and introduces new aspects of maintenance. Students work on bicycles provided by RBP, which, at the end of the course, will be set aside and subsidized to low-income individuals through our Biggest Little Commuter Program. The Bicycle Repair Class has been offered since 2014 and is a great all-rounder introductory course to bicycle maintenance and repair.
