Other helpful topics include:
* Safety
* Selecting a bike - new or used
* Getting the best value in bikes
* Selling or trading your used bike
* Equipment upgrading for efficiency
* Bike advocacy and legislation
* Events in the area and local clubs and organizations

Larry has been teaching bicycle maintenance classes since 1973, so your questions won't be new to the instructor. Questions raised at a store get lost in the craziness of ringing phones and serving other customers. But here, the class is limited to 12 students, permitting individual attention. Previous editions of this class have been full.
The course fee is $60 (with an optional manual available for $20 at first class). Register by e-mailing meesuk@earthlink.net. Larry can be reached via Larry@bike123.com. For further information on the textbook, see http://www.parktool.com/park_tool_school/index.shtml.
