You can practice on one of our shop bikes or bring your own bike to tinker with, but please note that the purpose of all SBK classes is to teach you how to perform bicycle repairs. We cannot be held responsible for any damage your bike may incur during the class, nor can we guarantee that you will have a functioning bike at the end of the class (especially if your bike was not functioning properly prior to the class). Also, we have experience working with a variety of bicycles, but not all of them! If you surprise us with an oddity we’ve never seen before, we’ll be happy to take a look at it and may even want to take some pictures, but we can’t guarantee we’ll know what’s best for it mechanically.
Reparación de Pinchazos en Español
Cuándo y Dónde: sábado el 2 de agosto 2-4 PM en la Sac Bike Kitchen
Costo: GRATIS!
Cupo limitado. Favor de reservar por email: classes@sacbikekitchen.org.
En esta clase, enfocamos en capacidades prácticas. Aprenderás:
- Cómo evitar pinchazos y averiguar por qué ocurren
- Cómo reparar un pinchazo por cambiar la cámara y parchar la cámara
- Cuales herramientas se necesita para armar un kit de reparación
- Cómo mantener seguridad personal cuando se repara un pinchazo en la calle
Si tienes tu propia bicicleta, te sugerimos llevarla a clase. También se puede practicar con bicicletas del taller. Experiencia previa no se necesita. La clase es para principiantes.
- La meta de todas las clases de la Sac Bike Kitchen es enseñarte cómo hacer reparaciones para ti mism@. No somos responsables por cualquier daño que pueda ocurrir durante la clase. Ni te garantizamos que tu bici esté arreglada al fin de la clase, especialmente si no funciona antes de la clase.
- Tenemos experiencia reparando una gran variedad de bicicletas pero no todas. Al llevar una bicicleta poco común que nunca hemos visto, estamos content@s trabajar en ella pero no garantizamos poder repararla cien por ciento.
- La Sacramento Bike Kitchen es un entorno seguro, libre de cualquier tipo de violencia y odio donde se propaguen respeto, en el que toda persona pueda sentirse segura.
