Matty of The Asheville Recyclery kicks off the first part of his series of Bike Clinics with Basic Bike Maintenance. This hands-on Perennial Workshop will cover flat repair, proper lubrication, and how to do a full pre-ride safety check- including brakes, derailleurs, torque specs and proper bicycle sizing. All skill levels are welcome. Sign up for just one, or all of the Bike Clinic Series to really take your bike know-how to the next gear! Instructor Matty has toured both the U.S. and Canada by bike, encountering and welcoming the unexpected around every bend. As a professional bike mechanic, he is a League Of American Cyclists Certified Instructor of bicycle safety. Matty believes there is no day throughout the year that bikes can’t get us where we want to go. Head to fireflygathering.org/perennial for more details and registration.
