HOT WHEELS CLASSES
Here's a group of classes to help keep your ride on the road—whether it's a motorcycle or a pedal bike you use for everyday transportation, an art bike or car you're inspired to create, or a customized hot rod. If it has wheels, you can learn from the pros how to trick it out and keep it running in top condition.

Bicycle Mechanic Workshop
Entry-level
Perform a deep, complete tune up of your own bicycle over the course of two full weekend days. As you disassemble and reassemble the entire bike, you will learn the names of the bicycle components and the tools used in a professional shop. Although basic supplies are provided, you will need to supply some of your own supplies, such as specialty tires, cables, chains and gears; some items may be available for sale at The Crucible.

The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance & Repair
Entry-level
If you have a bike you want to learn to fix, or are interested in owning a bike and don't want to rely on someone else to keep it on the road, this is the class for you. Generally, motorcycles are simpler and easier to work on than cars. This class covers a number of different bikes. With the consent of the instructor, you will be able to work on your own bike in class or choose to work on one of the bikes provided by the instructor.
Note: If you're working on your own bike, you must buy any materials you need.
