Sunday March 15th, 1:30 PM
Seminar room: 109 A (Ground Level – 12th & Arch Streets entrance)
Presented by Beth Permenter, Youth Program Director at Phoenix Bikes & Tim Fricker, Owner of Bikes@Vienna
For many cyclists, non-traditional bikes, such as recumbents and folders, are essential tools for movement and freedom. Whether you are a bike shop looking to build community by saying “Yes” to every kind of rider, or an owner wanting to better understand and care for your unique machine, this seminar provides the practical knowledge to handle basic repairs. We’ll bridge the gap between the service bench and the open road, covering the “Must-Knows” of maintenance for long chains, folding hinges, and internal-gear hubs.
During this seminar, you will learn:
- How to properly size and manage chains on recumbents and Bromptons.
- Which essential tools to purchase for both professional shop service and basic home maintenance.
- How to perform a comprehensive safety check on alternative bikes, whether for a shop intake or a pre-ride inspection.
