jett grrl bike studio's
mission is to empower
women on their bicycles (and yes, men are welcome too!). if you have ever
wanted to learn to do your
own bike repairs, or at the very least would like to be armed with enough
information to feel knowledgable when you walk into a shop, jett grrl is
the place for you. it doesn't matter if you are a commuter, road racer, or
mountain biker...jett grrl offers classes for all types of riders and
all levels of mechanical ability. all classes are hands-on, with a maximum
class size of 4 people, taught by a certifed woman mechanic in a relaxed,
friendly, grrl positive environment. and every class is guaranteed to
satisfy, or your money back.
you can also get a group
together and we can customize the class for you. and if you are a business
or organization that would like to encourage cycling for your employees or
members, we can teach introductory classes to large groups in the environment
of your choice. just call or email today to discuss any custom courses.
all classes are held at the studio, 243A Union St.
that is on the adanac bike route, between main and gore (chinatown/strathcona)
just a note: classes are now scheduled on an "as requested" basis.
if you are interested in any workshops just email us and we will put
you on our mailing list for the next class!

bring your bike to class, and clothes to get dirty in. all tools are provided,

from jett grrl during the class. payment for each course must be made at the
time of registration, in order for your spot to be guaranteed. refunds will
only be given - less 25% - if you cancel one week in advance of your start date.
