*Where:* SouthSide Community Center, 305 S Plain St, Ithaca, NY 14850 (

*To attend:* Please RSVP specifying “Very Beginner” or “Intermediate
Beginner” to: er...@cornell.edu. Each workshop is limited to 10 people,

Facilitating the workshop will be bike mechanics Liz & BobWölfé. We will be
mostly covering "on the road" repairs/maintenance such as fixing flats,
adjusting brakes and dérailleurs, using a small chain tool and more. We will
also cover basic spring cleanup/repairs. However, if you need to replace
parts, they will not be available at this workshop. We will be open to
answering any and all bike repair questions as time permits.
This event is open to anyone interested. *We are also encouraging folks who
are planning on doing the BikeIt! ride to Detroit to take this workshop, in
order to gain the skills necessary to maintain your bike during a long bike
tour. *
Cosponsored by BikeIt!, a 500-mile ride from Ithaca to Detroit for the US
Social Forum in June (www.bikeit.org) and RIBs (Recycle Ithaca’s Bicycles),
a program of the SouthSide Community Center.
See you there!
