The Winterborne Bicycle Institute based out of Ontario, Canada has added more Pro Bike Mechanics classes from June 8-19. The popular course had a long waiting list and man students were eager to take the 11 day hands-on class that is held in a full shop and classroom at the Institute in Guelph. The Institute is the only one of its kind in Canada that helps aspiring bicycle mechanics.
“The manufacturing downturn is freeing up people with good mechanical skills and a strong work ethic,” said Jay Filer, WBI founder. “Some of these folks are keen cyclists and eager to retool themselves to work in bike shops. Given the shortage of good bike mechanics in the industry, this is an unexpected silver lining in these economic times.”
