Bicycle Mechanics Course

[Denise223]

Hi!
I wanted to know if any of you have taken a bike mechanics course-- One is a 6 hour course (two/3 hour classes), and the other is a 12 hour course (four/3 hour classes over 2 weeks)....

Is this something that you would recommend cyclists take?

I've just started riding at the age of 45....(of course, rode as a kid & teen).
I honestly do not know the first thing about bicycle mechanics -- I don't even know how to change a tire....

If you are familiar with these courses, I would surely appreciate your input.

I worked in healthcare all of my life, and am currently seeking part-time employment. To be honest, if I was any good at bike mechanics, I'd certainly enjoy working in a bike shop!!

Thanks for your help

Have a great day!

Denise
