Since 2010, The Bike Project has been collaborating with the University of Illinois to provide a educational space on campus. Bicycle education taught through that space encourages the campus community to ride bicycles for transportation because the bicycles sold and worked on at the Campus Bike Center are reliable and safe. Previously, volunteers would propose an idea for a class and advertise the class on Facebook and in the Campus Bike Center. Rarely would volunteers be interested in teaching basic bicycle maintenance. In Spring 2016, the Campus Bike Center taught five classes. The topics were: beginning wheel building, three-speed Sturmey-Archer hub overhaul, and framing thread repair, Air-Brakes-Chain (ABC) Quick Check, and disc brakes. With the exception of the ABC Quick Check class, all of the Spring 2016 classes were advanced. Currently, it is difficult to find a volunteer willing to teach a basic maintenance class. Having a grant for an instructor would greatly incentivize hosting a bicycle maintenance class. A basic or beginner maintenance class would help community members that are less dedicated to bicycle repair and more likely to not ride their bicycles due to a small repair or issue.
