CST: Essential Bicycle Maintenance

On April 3rd at 6pm, we will have a Climate Survival Training about repairing bikes, led by Benjamin Kasavan from SOPO, and hosted by Piedmont Park (at their community center location next to Willy’s).

We will be covering basic bike maintenance and repairs that will keep your bicycle running smoothly for longer! Learn routine maintenance, such as cleaning your chain and making minor brake adjustments, and learn how to repair a flat tire! Don’t sit in traffic, plunge into the bliss of bicycles!

Benjamin first got involved with bicycles at 8 years old racing with Star Track at the Kissenna Park Velodrome in NYC. While he doesn’t race anymore, he has never stopped biking. Beyond biking around town, he has been volunteering with DIY bicycle shops since 2015 and has been a shop manager at SOPO Bicycle Cooperative since 2019. He believes that bicycling is a powerful force not only for transportation, but also for community building, resilience, and self-empowerment.
