Learn and Earn Has Begun!

Need a bike and want to learn a new skill? Learn and Earn classes have begun at ECBR. Learn and Earn is an informal bike maintenance and repair class that allows participants to learn some wrenching skills, and give back to ECBR at the same time!

Learn and Earn attendees work as a group on a bicycle to be rebuilt and put up for adoption at ECBR. Each session take 3 weeks to complete, and the classes cover these subjects:
  • Week#1 Flat Fixing and Wheel Maintenance
  • Week#2 Bottom Bracket and Headset Maintenance
  • Week#3 Brakes, Derailleurs, and Cables
These classes are hands on, and cover the most common maintenance and repair topics seen at ECBR. Tools and supplies are provided by ECBR for each class.

Participants who complete 3 Learn and Earn sessions will have the opportunity to choose 1 of the available "basic" bicycles available for adoption at ECBR once participation is complete.

If you're interested just stop by the Edison Tech Center any Thursday night. Learn and Earn starts at 5:45, and no registration is required.
