Book a Bicycle Maintenance Class or Clinic

Get more knowledgeable about your bike this winter or give the gift of learning this holiday season by registering yourself or a loved one for a Century Cycles Bicycle Maintenance Class!

Below is the complete line-up of small-group classes that offer a hands-on education from the best expert bike mechanics in town. Just need to know the essentials, like how to change a flat tire? Check out the FREE basic clinics we're also offering in each store. Want something more customized or advanced? CC 1-to-1 is for you.

With all of our classes and clinics, you’ll also receive a 20% discount on all parts, tools, lubes, repair stands, accessories and clothing!

• Rocky River: March 15 at 6:30 p.m.

CC 1-To-1
Do you want to take one of the above classes, but can’t fit it into your schedule or prefer one-on-one instruction? Or, do you want to learn something more customized or advanced, like wheel-building? Century Cycles offers CC 1-To-1, where you book a time and topic with one of our bike mechanics. (Example: Last year a customer booked CC 1-To-1 time to have Century Cycles mechanics help him with a winter project to overhaul an old road bike and make it into a single speed.) $75 per hour. By appointment only.

To register for any of the classes listed, call or visit the store you want to attend to reserve your class spot: Medina 330-722-7119; Peninsula 330-657-2209; and Rocky River 440-356-5705. Payment is due at the time of registration. The classes are oriented toward multi-speed bikes manufactured after 1985 and are not suitable for BMX, recumbent, tandem, or coaster brake bicycles. Missed classes cannot be made up or refunded.
