    We'll be learning the basics of how to set 'sag', 'rebound', and 'compression' for your rear and/or front shocks!

We host workshops, repair cafés, and other events that teach basic skills for creating, maintaining, and repairing. Our events include:

  • Bicycle maintenance workshops: Learn how to keep your bicycle in good working condition with pre-ride checks, trailside repairs, and basic maintenance. Different workshops focus on different topics, types of bicycles (like mountain bikes), and levels of complexity. Most workshops are hands-on. Bring your bicycle and learn how to work on it.

  • Carpentry and woodworking workshops: Learn how to use carpentry and woodworking tools, with coaching on what the tools are, when to use then, and how to use them tools safely. Different workshops focus on different tools and tasks. Most workshops are hands-on. Practice using the tools and, in some workshops, build something.

  • Ski and snowboard maintenance workshops: Learn how to keep your ski and snowboards in good working condition. Some workshops focus on tuning your edges, and others focus on waxing your boards. Most workshops are hands-on. Bring your boards and learn how to maintain them.

  • Repair cafés: Get help fixing your broken things. Volunteers are available to help you troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix your things, including small home appliances, housewares, clothing, outdoor gear, electronics, and bicycle problems. For most repair cafés, we have drink and food vendors onsite; it is a repair "café" after all.
