Intermediate Bike Repair Class – Hands-On Training in San Jose
Intermediate Class $225, 4 hours
Dive deeper into your bicycle mechanic training with this nitty-gritty look at the mechanics of your bike!
Furthering the lessons learned in the beginner course, the intermediate class is designed to go beyond simple adjustments, starting the learning process of evaluating and replacing the more important systems at work on your bicycle. You’ll learn how to become an active participant in your own bicycle repair, giving you the power to take repairs into your own hands and speak confidently to mechanics when you need help.
This course will give you the knowledge and skills to tackle more complex work on your bicycle, saving you time, money, and the headache of coordinating repairs with a local bike shop. We recommend taking our beginner course before this one, but it’s not a prerequisite!
If you’re considering getting into the world of bicycle repair on a professional level, this course will give you a good idea of some of the problems you’ll run into on a daily basis. If you love this course, you’ll be well prepared to jump into more comprehensive bicycle mechanic training like our 40 hour certification course.
