The Manitoba Student Transportation Network and Natural Cycle are partnering to offer a free bicycle mechanics course for teachers and community volunteers wanting to develop their repair and bike building skills.
Join us for two 6-hour sessions on consecutive Sundays starting March 1st at 10:30a.m. It is expected that interested participants will contribute by volunteering in their community or school to help fix bikes. We are offering this course free-of-charge because we believe in sustainability, and the bicycle as an efficient and accessible form of transportation for all age-groups and all income levels. So, sign up, have fun, and share your passion for bicycles where you can, when you can.
No previous mechanical knowledge is necessary. The course is a hands-on overview of every system of the bicycle and the key principles of mechanics. All tools, materials and bikes are provided.
In order to spread this opportunity amongst the many community bicycle projects in Winnipeg and interested school programs, we ask that you complete the form attached. Instructor to student ratio is 3:1. If we cannot accommodate everyone, we will keep your name on reference for the next course.
Please circulate to interested individuals and organizations. Interested participants should email the completed form to cycleworks@naturalcycle.ca by February 21th, 2009. You will be contacted to confirm enrollment the following week.
