Hi, my name is Julie and I have been teaching bike mechanics for the past 12 years at Betty's Bikes. I have room for one or two more apprentices this season. If you want to be employable to a bike shop by the end of the season, you will need to attend two 4 hr days per week until October. If you are just aiming to be a home mechanic, we can probably keep it at one day and you are welcome back next season to finish your skills sheet. The program is fairly comprehensive, but focuses on maintenance and bike building in the most popular styles for our geographic location. I keep track of your skills and give credit every time you perform a repair. I am waiving tuition so long as you are willing to help with opening and closing and simple things around the shop like filling tires for customers and doing repairs that you have already mastered for the shop. Give a call or text or stop by during open hours to fill out an application.
