Basics Night
Re-Cycles will hold these sessions once a month on the third Thursday of the month, and they will be for all volunteers that wish to bone up on the basics of bicycle repair. The sessions will be run by Head Mechanics Mike Bowler and Chris Wells.
Schedule:
Nov 20th - Wheels and Tires (no truing)
Dec 18th - Brakes
Jan 15th - Gears and Shifting
Feb 19th - Headsets, Forks, Stems
Mar 19th - Bottom Brackets
Details:
Volunteers should arrive between 6:00pm and 6:15pm and plan to be in the shop until at least 8pm. Wear clothing you don't mind getting greasy, though the usual shop coats and aprons will be available. The Head Mechanic will provide reading material if necessary. Be prepared to work in pairs or groups of three, depending on demand. On Basics Night the Head Mechanic will take in volunteers on a first come, first serve basis. If we find there is more demand than available space and time we'll see if we can adjust the schedule to accommodate.
Here's hoping we see you at the very first re-Cycles Basics Night on November 20th!
