Highly recommend this class! The amount of money you will save in one year doing your own repairs and tune-ups is astronomical! Most bikes I end up repairing for friends is do to lack of maintence. If they kept up with it, they wouldn't have to spend money on new parts due to neglect. Listen folks, if this is your primary source of transportation, it's a no brainer that this investment is fractional in comparison to cost of maintaining a car or even the total cost of having a bike shop service your rig several times a year.
Roll like a champ and be safe!
