Cycling made Simple #4: Fixing simple mechanics & PIZZA!
We are excited to welcome you to the fourth and final session of the Cycling Made Simple by CIOVITA series.
This session is designed to help you feel calm, prepared, and confident when something small goes wrong on the road. It is not about becoming a mechanic, but about knowing what is possible, what is manageable, and when to ask for help.
You do not need to have attended the previous sessions to join, this session can be followed independently.
Session #4 - How to fix simple mechanics on the road
In this session, we focus on understanding common mechanical situations and building the confidence to handle them without stress or fear.
Topics include:
How to fix a flat tire step by step
What tools and spares are worth carrying, and which ones are optional
How to remove and reinstall a wheel without panic
Simple checks that help prevent mechanical issues before a ride
This session includes a practical ride following the theoretical introduction, allowing you to immediately apply what you learn in a supportive and encouraging group setting.
GRADUATION
YAY! You made it through all four sessions of the Cycling Made Simple by CIOVITA series. That deserves a proper celebration. We will end the ride with South African wine and pizza.
