Register for RSVP+Tire Fix if you plan to stay after the mechanical section to learn how to fix a flat tire.
Register for just RSVP if you plan to attend only the mechanical portion.
Bring your bike and the tools you normally carry on a ride so you can practice with what you have. I have tools to borrow as well. We will ride one block to Kirkland Bicycle at the end of class to stock up our repair kits.
