Maintaining A Bicycle: The Return
On June 4th more than 50 participants gathered at Lillian H. Smith Branch to learn the basics of bike repair. At the end of the session freebies such as bells and reflective straps were distributed to the attendees. Thanks to Kristin Schwartz, CultureLink's Newcomer Cycling Outreach Co-ordinator and her amazing team of volunteer mechanics for making this event fun and informative.
It was so well received, we just had to bring it back. So if you want to gain knowledge on some common bike problems and fix them yourself, please join us for an upcoming "Maintaining A Bicycle" workshop on Saturday, October 15th, from 2 – 4pm. Participants will learn how to adjust brakes, fix flat tires, and change oil and chains.
Space is LIMITED! Please register in advance:
– In person at Lillian Smith Library – 2nd Floor Reference Desk

Never before have I heard of a library offering bike repair classes but think it’s a great idea for them to do this as so many people ride, yet do not have the training to repair their bike or trikes.
Will have to check out my local libraries to ask if they also offer this.
Check out these cool tricycles for adults;

This sounds like a good idea to me. I’ll keep visiting for more of your posts.
I would love to join on the next schedule.I got a bit busy the past months so hopefully i can attend soon.My bicycle is doing good which i use as part of my daily exercise.An hour of bicycling around the village a day makes a big difference on my body.
