i will retire at the end of this month. I have long been considering going to either Barnett Bicycle Institute or the other one I know of, United. I would like to do this so that I can become more self-sufficient and perhaps take some 2-3 day rides away from home. I am not very intuitive mechanically ...i think I would be the last person someone would call for help to fix just about anything! Thus the necessity of schooling. Any opinions out there as to which one? kay
