I can't express how much this means to me. My Santa went far above and beyond and paid my way into this six week course. See I can change a tire or tighten up a bolt here and there, but nothing like what this course offers! I also commute to work and back by bike (for the most part), as much as I can tune up my bike, my poor 1970ish steel buddy is in need of some serious repairs. I've always been planing on striping and repainting my bike (I will update screenshots of this!) when I find a few weeks I'm not on it due to the weather and having this knowledge while I do this, will be significant! I can't say how much it means to me that I was given a gift that will be with me forever and that I plan on using throughout my life! Once I get in class and refurbish my bike I plan to update r/bicycling (or some bike subreddit) and my Santa. Thank you again Santa, you're the best!

Here's what the class includes:
