Ladies Mechanics Class 1

Liza — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 18:02:00 GMT

Last night's class was awesome. John started off with some terminology, identifying wheels and components. Then the class moved right into removing rear wheels, tires, tubes, chains, disengaging brakes and putting everything back together. We also had comfort, road, and mountain bikes represented--great to see the different types of bikes and talk about the distinctions and merits of each.

A great start to our ladies class series. Thanks to everyone who participated.
