#Novice Level Class: These are classes that require NO prior knowledge of bikes, tools, or maintenance. We will be breaking things down to a very beginner level. All knowledge is valuable, but those more experienced in mechanics may find the pace slow. Intermediate Level Class: These are classes that require SOME basic knowledge of bikes, tools, and maintenance. The skills needed for these classes will be covered in the Novice Level classes. If you do not have any experience working on bikes it is highly recommended you attend all of the Novice Level Classes before the intermediate level classes.
