BECOME A BIKE MECHANIC
When your brakes break or fixie needs fixing, it’s nice to have the mechanical acumen to quickly respond. You’ve got a few options. One possibility: Every time you want to upgrade, repair or tune up your bicycle, take it to Pedals2People instead of just dropping it off at a bike shop. They’ll help walk you through the process, literally getting your hands dirty, to repair it yourself. Learn by doing. Another possibility: Attend REI’s hour-and-a-half bike maintenance classes. An advanced class scheduled for Thursday, JUNE 12, at 7 pm, will focus on brakes and the drive train, while a JUNE 18 course at 7 pm during Summer Parkways will teach you how to fix a flat. Both are $20 ($40 for nonmembers.) See the schedule at rei.com/spokane. BIKES CONTINUES ON NEXT PAGE
