Instructor: Peter Corbin of Pete’s Cyclery and Outdoor Shop, Antigonish, NS

Bike Maintenance Clinics – 2 evening clinics, 2 hrs each for adults 18+ @ The Keppoch

Suitable for people who would like to do basic repairs and maintenance. Get the most from the course by bringing a bike and what tools you have so you can practice. These are “hands on” clinics. Let us know if you need a bike to work on. There will be one or two work stands available, but if you have one or can borrow one, that will make working on your bike much easier. Register for the clinic(s) that interest you. If you do not have a bike to practice on, please let us know, and Pete can bring one in.
