Mechanic Classes at Bike Works
All classes will take place at Bike Works (Community Bike Shop @ 803 Cascadilla Street). Pre-registration is required for all classes. The registration fee for each class is $20. However, we never turn anyone away due to lack of funds. If the financial barrier would prevent you from participating, you may use the code:
- WHEELIE for half off the registration fee
- FREERIDE to completely waive the fee
We trust that folks will self-assess if this is what they need in order to participate.
Bike Works is a community bike shop program operated by Bike Walk Tompkins.
