Description: How does your bicycle work, and how do you repair it when something goes wrong? In this hands-on bicycle maintenance and repair camp, participants will discover many new things about the world's most efficient means of transportation. Emphasis will be on the drive chain, shifting, brakes, wheels, tires, tubes, steering systems, cable replacement, and lubrication. Students will need to bring their bikes to camp.
Instructor: Simon Rakower
A little about your instructor: I have taught bike repair at UAF for 25 years. My early teaching experience was training my employees. I've worked in the bike industry as mechanic, shop owner, manufacturer, consultant, teacher, event support, for a half-century. I made a lot of noise about winter trail riding in the ‘80s and ‘90s and developed some products that led to the fatbike. I look forward to teaching again this summer!
