Bike Repair & Mechanics: Know Your Ride!
Love riding your bike? Now learn how it actually works!

In Bike Repair & Mechanics, students will get hands-on with real bicycles while learning how to maintain, adjust, troubleshoot, and better understand the machine underneath them.

This isn’t just a class where we talk about bikes — students will get a chance to look, touch, adjust, test, and practice as they discover how all those moving parts work together.

Throughout the semester, students will explore:

Adjusting seats and handlebars for a proper fit
Understanding spokes, wheels, and gear systems
How coaster brakes and hand brakes work
Keeping brakes stopping safely and properly
Oiling chains and maintaining cables
What a derailleur is and how to adjust it
Basic wheel bearing and cable maintenance
Troubleshooting common bike problems
Simple ways to keep a bicycle running smoothly
Students will even have opportunities to bring in their own bikes and learn more about the machine they ride!

Along the way, they’ll build confidence using tools, solving mechanical problems, and understanding how everyday machines work.

Whether your student already loves tinkering or has never thought twice about how their bike works, this class gives them practical skills they can use every time they ride.

Grab your bike, roll up your sleeves, and let’s learn what keeps those wheels turning!
