Coaching

Workshops

On their surface bikes seem to be simple machines. Spend some time wrenching on one though and you will quickly discover the complexity hiding under that simple surface. Demystify your bike with the experts at First Flight with one-on-one workshops. Bring your questions and your bike and we'll bring our experience and weird, obscure bicycle knowledge.

Still figuring out the fundamentals and prefer a one-on-one approach? We get it and that's why any of our Bike 101 Classes can be booked as a private or small group class.

Private workshopsFrom $100
