Tire-d? Fix a Flat Clinic

  • Talent Maker City 304 E Main St. Talent, OR 97540 (map)

Join us for a deep dive into the most crucial skill a cyclist can have: how to repair a flat tire!

Not all flats are the same and we will go into the myriad of reasons a tire goes flat. We will cover the items you need in your repair kit and you will leave with the confidence that you can get yourself back on the road or trail next time you get a flat.

You are welcome to bring your own bike to the workshop. If you would like to work on a donated bike that will be gifted to someone in the community, please email derekb@talentmakercity.org at least 24 hours in advance of the workshop.

Meet the instructor, Derek Boland! Derek is a cycling fiend who has worked in the industry for the past fourteen years. After becoming disillusioned by the nature of the retail cycling environment, he was compelled to change it. He is excited to share his knowledge and passion with the greater community here at TMC. He believes in the ability of the bicycle to empower and transform people's lives and that there should be no barriers to becoming a cyclist. He has lived in the Rogue Valley since 2013 and is excited to learn more skills and make more connections while working at TMC. Besides riding his bike and putting on rides, he also enjoys cooking/baking, sewing, and photography. He lives in Phoenix with his partner and two kitties.
