By the way, if you happen to be interested in taking this Basic Bicycle Repair Course (which it isn't that basic) here is the information. I took it last fall and it was affordable and the teacher (Nani) was an amazing and very patient instructor. Highly recommendable and you will learn a lot by servicing your on bike either you are planning on a long trip or just commuting in the city.
