Karen H., Janice B., and Peg G. and my biking friends, the 3 Nancy’s, joined me for a hands on bike maintenance workshop on Sunday morning, 8/21 led by Susan K., a volunteer at Yellow Bike. We learned how to change a tube, identify a worn out tire, and we all took off our back wheel and put it back on. We covered brakes and actually adjusted Nancy L’ front brakes with Susan’s assistance. We measured the gaps between chain links and discussed the tools needed to fix a chain. We talked about how to trace and adjust a cable.
If you are not a bike nerd, you probably think this sounds boring, but we had a fabulous time and learned a lot from Susan.
