Cycling is an amazing thing. It gets people outside and traveling the roads and trails of our community. Nothing beats the freedom and independence of cruising winding country roads or bombing down backcountry single-track…until you get a flat tire or your bike seems to be making the decisions on when to shift. That’s where Durham Parks and Recreation Adventure Programs’ Basic Bike Maintenance class comes in. This class is designed to give you the skills and knowledge to fix basic bicycle issues as well as teach you how to do routine preventative maintenance on both road and mountain bikes.
Join us on Thursday, February 21 at Spruce Pine Lodge (2303 Bahama Road) at 6 p.m. and you will learn how to keep your bike on the road. All you need to bring is a bike, some clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty, and an Allen Wrench set if you have one. For more information contact Jordan Doctor at (919) 477-9918 or Jordan.Doctor@durhamnc.gov.
This class is free and open to the public.
