Community Bike Maintenance Classes

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

The classes are best suited for cyclists 14 and up; kids, bring your parents!  

Each class runs from 5:30-7:30 and is open to 8 attendees. We’ll focus on a specific area of maintenance or repair. Your $50 tuition goes straight to getting more kids on bikes across northern Michigan! Bring your bike!
