[UPDATE ] Maintenance Course Applications-- DUE 9/4
Emily McBroom
Common Cycle's Fall 2024 Maintenance Course will be held on Mondays from 6:30-8:30 pm, beginning October 7th, and run for 6 consecutive weeks, concluding on 11th. There will be an optional 7th session on November 18th. Classes will be held at the Common Cycle Co-op, located at 416 W Huron St Suite #11, Ann Arbor, MI 48103.
We cover a range of repairs and maintenance from basic (e.g. tube change, brake adjustment) to advanced (e.g. hub overhaul, wheel truing). A basic overview of the syllabus can be found on our website.
The course has a cap on participants so that everyone will have some time and space to do hands-on work. Current volunteers will be given priority. No knowledge of bike repair is required - just an interest in learning more and helping others.
Although this is a low/no-cost course, we ask you to respect both the high demand for this opportunity and the large amount of volunteer work that goes into coordinating and teaching the course. Specifically:
If you are enrolled, we expect you to attend the majority of sessions (4+) or make clear in your application that you will not be able to attend all sessions.
If selected, we expect that participants volunteer at least two times with us over the subsequent 6 months (these can be while you're enrolled in the class as a way to complement your work in class).
We have a suggested donation of $25, but no one is turned away for lack of funds. There is an option to write a short written response as part of the application and/or volunteer once per month for six months after the course.
