Bicycle Maintenance Course - Live!

ABC is offering an in-person bicycle maintenance course for our members, focusing on flat tires and other valuable topics, on Saturday, November 30th from 2pm-5pm in Edgewater in the community room at the AA County Police, Southern District station at 35 Stepney Lane, Edgewater, 21037.

The course will be given by our member Chris "Pedals" Flowers who is a professional bicycle technician.

These are Chris' major topics and detailed program file:

• Flat Tire Repair Class for Beginners
• Drivetrain Maintenance
• Flat Kit Essentials for Road Bikes
• Safety Equipment

With these skills and equipment, you’ll be fully prepared to handle flat tire repairs, maintain your drivetrain, and enjoy safer, more efficient rides.

Please sign up here and arrive a little early to get settled in.

We will need to put the room back together when we are finished. Perhaps go out afterwards...

Thank you Chris!
