Teaching Times Up! bike repair classes

simon_teachingXup_class

Here’s a great pic of me teaching the weekly bike repair class at Time’s Up.  I teach everything from the absolute basics (types of bikes, anatomy, cleaning, adjusting, and flat fixes) to advanced stuff like how to build your own bike, overhauling bearings, wheel truing, brake installation, etc.  We have two fully-equipped workshops and boxes of spare parts, too.

I really enjoy teaching the classes; I relish the challenge of explaining complex stuff in simple terms, meeting lots of cool people who come to the classes, and getting everyone to roll up their sleeves and do repairs themselves.  Come check it out, it’s FREE – Sunday 2-4pm @ 99 South 6th st. in Williamsburg and Tues. 6:30-8:30 at 156 Rivington St. in the Lower East Side.  www.times-up.org
