| 255.2 | Fritz Bicycle Shop | MURPHY::MOLLIN | | Wed Apr 08 1987 02:41 | 4 |
| Fritz' Bicycle Shop on Mountain St. in Worcester runs maintenance
classes at least twice a year for about $50 for a 6-8 week course.
I took it about two years and recommend it if you haven't done much
repair or maintenance and don't even know what tools to buy.

I see no problem with the question and no problem with its being
asked here. Shooting someone down for asking isn't the attitude us
cyclists need to project.

Another place to find a course is bike club newsletters.
Charles River Wheelmen had one last night (so sorry).
Also the Broadway Bicycle School in Cambridge has a regular program.
Maybe someone else can elaborate on the details, or if something
similar exists closer to Marlboro.
~Mike (thanks for asking)

| RE: 255.1
I agree with Mike in note 255.3 It doesn't seem to me that Bob wanted
ideas on which manual was good to buy. He's looking for a workshop
so he can get hands-on training relating to the maintenance of his
bike. Also, workshops are a great way to meet people. The notes
file is designated for individuals to express ideas, questions and
concerns. If we shoot employees down, the tendency for them to
communicate within the notes file will greatly subside. Lets not
let that happen....

| Further, a class (even a short seminar) is very helpful. Assuming
you're not a mechanical whiz (like me; I took a class on how to
operate a can opener :}) ), class room experience is invaluable
as a precursor to 'working by the manual'.
Yep, yep ! I'm looking for that same class; $55 for an overhaul
at Gamache's is a little steep for my weekend riding.

| 255.6 | Bike Club Meetings | EAGLE1::CAMILLI | | Wed Apr 08 1987 17:25 | 6 |

In the past, the DEC Bike Club has had people from area bike shops
at club meetings to do talks on maintenance, among other things.
The bike club has gotten off to a slow start and, as far as I
know, nothing is planned for this year, yet. -Any volunteers?

| Check the Adult Ed. programs in your area. Bicycle repair is becoming
a popular class. The courses are usually taught by local shop
personnel.

| 255.8 | Here's one....:-) | ISWISS::FINIZIO | | Wed Apr 08 1987 20:25 | 22 |

Thanks for all the feedback and defense in this note. I called
Fritz's up and they will be running a Maintenance Class at the
end of september (They are too busy this time of the year).
Some info on the class:
o It runs 8 weeks
o You can go on either Monday or Tuesday Nights
o Will cost about $50.00
o You basically take apart and reassemble your bike
during these 8 weeks. There is a discount on tools
and parts that you may need during the course.
Again thanks for the input......

It might be a bit out of your way but for the benefit
of the New Hampshirites the Nashua Velo Club will be holding
a WRENCHING ??? session this coming Monday evening (Apr 13th).
Ron from Goodales bike shop will be conducting the session. It
might be MEMBERS ONLY so you might have to get a members invitation
to attend. I didn't bother to get all the details because I'm
going to be traveling next week.
