and also, I've changed the bell, which is proof of distracted people... It's funny because the new one sounds like a school recess bell... 🔔🚲📢 before / after
my bike's chain today said "no more" and it finally broke, fortunately I was near my house and I knew that soon it would happen when I've used it very roughly after a year, so as in other parts, it's time to change it.. ⛓️💥⛓️🚲🤷🏻♂️ #bikemaintenance

OccasionalDucksAny #Biketooter out there who can tell me what the problem is that makes a Dutch bike with internal hub gears start to sound and feel like a derailleur bike that is stuck between gears, and what to do about it (besides book it in at the LBS)?
This toot was brought to you by a #BikeCommute that I aborted about 3 miles in.

RideTorqueSpring Ready: The Motorcycle Wake-Up Checklist Every Rider Needs
Winter is a strange time for motorcyclists. For months, the bike sits quietly in the garage while you promise yourself you’ll start it “next weekend”. Before long, the riding gear is gathering dust, the battery is wondering if it’s been abandoned, and you’re scrolling through photos of last summer’s rides while staring out at another grey sky. Then, almost overnight, spring arrives. The roads start drying out, the grit begins to disappear, and suddenly every biker in the […]
Time to dust off my bike and start riding again. (Well, not just dust off, but make sure things are clean, tires are up, etc.). Once the water tank at the #CommunityGarden gets filled up (they really should get a #rainbarrel, which I had suggested), I can just ride my bike over and water and weed! With plush pal Phil the Baphomet in tow.

"Adult Classes & Workshops
Our classes and workshops offer fun, friendly, and accessible bike education to people 18 years old and up! Whether you’re interested in a seven-week bike repair course, or a one-time workshop, we have something for everyone!
Classes take place in the Bike Works Warehouse (3715 S Hudson St #111, Lower Level East Entrance, Seattle, WA 98118). Masks are encouraged to protect those most vulnerable in our community, but they are not required in our space.
Due to the high demand for class series, starting April 21st 2026 we are moving our registration system from open enrollment to a lottery system. Sign-up for the lottery will remain open for 2 days starting at 2pm, after which folks will be notified of the results. Recipients will have a week to register for the class, after which any unclaimed registrations will be returned to our reservation system to select other applicants. Applicants who do not receive a registration link will have increased odds for the next lottery signup, provided the signup information remains consistent between sign-ups.
We open registration for workshops and classes quarterly. If you do not see a registration button next to a class below, please check back later!
Our 2026 Season schedule will be posted this fall. We will offer two BR201, two BR101 (open enrollment), one BR101 (TWIG), and one BR101 (BIPOC).
Can’t sign up for a workshop or bike repair class? Check out our Open Shop program, which happens every 2nd & 4th Saturday from 1-5pm, year-round!
NOTE: As of Feb 2025, Friday Open Shops are cancelled until further notice.
Class Tuition
All of our programming is pay what you can afford, with options to offset the full cost by volunteering at Bike Works.

Workshops
Workshops are a great way to learn about your bike without committing to a seven-week bike repair course. Participants will focus on one topic, and should bring in their own (non-electric) bike. If you are unable to bring your bike, Bike Works is happy to provide one for you.
A limited selection of tools, replacement parts and accessories will be available for purchase at workshops, however, we might not have everything you need. Students are encouraged to bring in their own parts if they are looking to replace anything specific, or email their instructor beforehand. We will do our best to accommodate you and your bike!"
