Learn basic bike repair
Riders who want to learn basic repairs can get hands-on instruction.

It was great to be back on my bike. I’m happy to be riding instead of driving.

I have told many people about your wonderful program. They have all been amazed that such a wonderful resource exists. My bike buddy was wonderful. I was so impressed with his knowledge and instruction. He took great care of me and I left feeling comfortable with my bike and my ability to commute in traffic.

My bike buddy was very knowledgeable and I feel like I will be able to call on him later if I have any other questions. Thank you for hooking us up.

My bike buddy was the best! She was really there for me and gave me lots of great advice.

I give your program 4 gold stars! It was so much more helpful than I originally anticipated. I was matched with an experienced biker and he answered a lot of my questions regarding safety, the best routes to take and how to ride in traffic. The whole experience boosted my confidence in regards to biking.

My bike buddy was fantastic. He answered the many, many questions I had, found a great route for me, and even pointed out some safety hazards on my bike. I got the problems on my bike fixed and I’ve been riding in about twice a week since I met with him.

I had started riding a route of my own but my bike buddy was able to show me an alternate that seems to have less traffic on the way home. He also was able to answer the traffic questions I had. Thank you so much for offering this program. It really is a great service because it seemed to take some of the intimidation out of riding.

My bike buddy shared tips on biking in traffic and how to avoid the busiest streets. We discussed all of my concerns and I’m feeling much better about riding in traffic. The hills are still a killer but I hear they get easier with time!
