Learn how to fix your bike.
1. Sat Jun 13 2pm , Drive Train Workshop
Velo Brooklyn, 1342 A Dekalb Avenue Brooklyn NY
Learn the ins and outs of your bike’s drivetrain, the components that create the power, from the pedals to derailleurs and everything in between. Bike mechanic KT will lead this workshop covering mechanics, maintenance, and repair for both multi-speeds (gears, shifters, cables) and single-speeds (chainlines, cranks, cogs). [via TA Brooklyn]

3. Sun Jun 14, 4pm Open Bike Workshop
Time’s Up! 99 South 6th Street Brooklyn, NY
Bring in your bike and fix it up with the guidance of one of Time’s Up volunteer mechanics. I brought my bike in a few months ago and identified a problem with the bike that even the bike shop missed…highly recommended. [via Times Up]
Watch other people race.
