It’s most riders worst nightmare – a problem with the bike.  A flat tire, broken chain or cable, bent gear shifter, torn tire, bent rim or no spare tube can ruin your day.

We love to ride, but many of us just don’t know what to do when our bike breaks on the road or during a race.  The secret to getting rolling again as soon as possible is preparation.  It’s important to have the right repair items with you and know how to use them.

Learn what to have onboard and how to do the repairs at our Emergency Repair and Bike Maintenance Clinic presented by Spokes Wheaton.  The expert staff at Spokes will demonstrate how to repair the most common roadside breakdowns.  You also have the option of bringing a bike, practicing a repair like fixing a flat tire, and purchasing any needed items for your onboard repair kit.

Come get the skills and gear you’ll need to be ready to ride worry free this season!
