Learn how to maintain your bike with beginner-friendly bike maintenance and repair classes! Led by Norte’s Chief Mechanic & Community Educator, Tyler Witkuszyski, each class provides a hands-on, accessible learning experience for any type of rider – child or adult!

Family Bike Maintenance Schedule

Join us for one family-friendly maintenance class or all of them! Each class is low-key, inclusive, and fun. Bring your bike, clothes you don’t mind getting a little greasy, and your appetite - we guarantee you’ll leave with a treat and a smile.

All classes are targeted towards kids 1st grade through high school but adults are welcome as well. Guardians who wish to attend with their child are required to register as well. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bike to work on but if that’s not possible we can provide a bike to practice on. You will be getting your hands dirty so wear clothing that you don’t mind getting greasy, aprons and gloves will be provided but don’t always cover everything.
