If any UCalgary student that is passionate about bicycles is looking for a little bit of tuition relief, we need some extra help over the busy spring and summer repair season. As part of the full-service program at Bike Root, a portion of every full-service repair job will be applied to your tuition. Inquire at [email protected]. Applicants will be required to demonstrate their bicycle mechanical knowledge before being approved to take on full service responsibilities. Opportu...nities to grow in bicycle mechanical skills will be available throughout the winter semester. We have over 125 donated bikes in the shop now that need to be repaired by spring, and it generally takes about 20 complete bike repairs to go from interested to experienced. #frostbike #yyc #yycbike #yycnews #uofc #ucalgary #ucalgarytuition #sustainability #bikeroot #tuition
