Community Bike Project of the Ecology Action Centre presents a seven-week bike repair and maintenance course. The course will run each Sunday morning from 9:00-11:00 a.m., beginning May 25 and ending July 13 (there will be no class on June 22). The class will be conducted on a drop-in basis. That is to say, you do not have to attend every class, you can just come whenever you like. The cost is $5 per class (free for current Bike Again! volunteers). The money will go back into Bike Again! to help support this local community project and encourage sustainable transportation in the H.R.M. The outline of the course is as follows: Lesson 1 (May 25): introduction to tools; wheels, tires & tubes Lesson 2 (June 1): hubs & bearings Lesson 3 (June 8): cranksets, chainrings, crankarms, bottom brackets Lesson 4 (June 15): cassettes, freewheels, chains, headsets, forks, handlebars, stems Lesson 5 (June 29): shifting systems - levers, derailleurs, cables Lesson 6 (July 6): braking systems - levers, shoes, cables Lesson 7 (July 13): pedals, saddles & seatposts, + Q & A free-for all! The course will take place at Bella Muse, on the northwest corner of the intersection of Agricola St. and Charles St. in Halifax. To register and learn what materials to bring, please call Stacey Willick at 423-9813. Bike Again! works to make bicycles accessible to everyone and to encourage this affordable and healthy mode of transportation. We have a large and growing collection of used bikes and parts that we receive through donations. A group of volunteers works to fix these bikes and redistribute them to those who want or need a bicycle. If you would like to donate a bicyle, want a bicycle, or would like to begin volunteering with Bike Again!, please contact the group by e-mail at bikeagain@hotmail.com ____________________________________________________________________________ If a friend forwarded this email to you, please consider joining sust-mar yourself.
