Major focus will be on identification of bicycle parts, trailside repair, shifting adjustments, brake adjustments, chain maintenance, how to repair/replace a tire tube and how to safely check your bike. We will also learn basic wheel truing and replacing a chain and brake and shifting cables. Bring a bike, and we will tune it up!
Erik Bloom
Erik's passion for teaching started when opening a youth bike program east of St. Paul in the late 90’s that is still helping kids today earn bikes while learning how to repair. During his 19 years as the Director of Training at the largest swim school in the Midwest, he developed an understanding for keeping things simple and teach skills that build. He saw a need for not only adults but our youth to learn how to fix the simple to more advance bicycle mechanical issues as well as setting up a bike for a better fit.
