Answer 2

Go to the library, sign up for a card, take out bike repair books.  If you take something apart and have a problem, THEN ask the bike shop mechanic.  You will need to collect a bunch of specialty bike repair tools and get a mediun size plastic tool box for now.  Learn simple adjustments and repairs, especially fixing flats.  Then start your own little repair business and use the profits to buy more tools and a work stand.  Everyone has bike with flat tires sitting in the garage.  Oh, you will need an air pump too.

Answer 3

Start with the small things.

When some adjustments need to be made, get it done at your LBS & watch them do them if possible. While you are there,  ask a few question on technique.

They usually don't mind, espicially when the shop is quiet.

I'm a fairly slow learner when it comes to mechanical stuff, but my LBS has been really helpful. I've asked them quite a few questions - some a bit simple or silly, but I have to learn the stuff somehow.

And go to the library & get out a bike mechanic book. When you feel a bit more confident about your skills, it's time to try to do more wrenching by yourself. If in doubt, get your LBS or a fellow cyclist who's good at mechanical stuff, to check over your work.

Tools aren't expensive when brought gradually.

Buy them when you require them, and you can become quite self-sufficient over-time

And there are sources on the web - some have already been listed, but there are others like bikeforums, in which you can get advice from other cyclists.

Happy riding

Answer 4

A bunch of places:

1. there are lots of good books. look on Amazon or check out your local library

2. Park Tools runs classes on this stuff through your LBS. Check here to find where they are being run near you:

http://www.parktool.com/clinics_training...

3. try sheldonbrown.com. this is the best website for biking in my opinion, especially if you have an older bike.

good luck  

Answer 5

Go to your nearest or favorite bike shop and ask if they will teach you.

Answer 6

For video the Bicycle Tutor is a great site.

Sheldon Brown has a very informative site.

Bike Repair on line is also good.

Park tools also has repair information.

Why go to the library when you have the Internet ?
