Julbee, that's great you are going to take a course in bike maintenance. I've asked each of the 5 LBS in my town if they offer one, and NONE do. I'll have to look into the local com college. Bikes just can't be THAT complicated, and I think once someone shows you how do do something, it's so much easier than trying to figure it out from a book or instructions on line.
I like to tinker with stuff, and someday, I think it'd be fun to build a bike. Or upgrade my centurion.
Do you have an REI or some other outdoor type shop in your area?? I know REI offers classes and usually the outdoorsy type shops offer all types of hands-on classes. I also liked the idea of asking at your bike shop if they would be willing to offer one if there was enough interest!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
