Its not like when I was a kid

[Colin B]

Ok when I was a wee lad I'd just jump on my bike and go for a ride not a care in the world and free as a bird , but times have changed there more cars (omg I'm turning into my dad) and there's stuff I never had as a kid .
There seems to be no shortage of courses from basic bike maintenance to defensive cycling . So I thought hey maybe I could do some of these ,but wasn't sure what to do so am seeking advice of you guys and galls on what's worth doing and what's not . I do plan on bike maintenance because for one I enjoy messing with stuff and for two I hate paying someone to do what I probably could . So I'd just like a little info on courses available and if your doing one or have an insight Into what you did cheers
