B&W is a definite asset to this image - and it is, indeed, worth a thousand words!

Great image! Brought back memories. At age 10 I got my first Schwin two wheel bike. First day riding it I got a flat. Took it to a bike shop where I was mesmerized watching an old man repair my flat. I bought a flat tire repair kit from him and repaired all my flats from then on.

love it!.............the bestest way for me to learn is to watch someone else do it and learn by their mistakes, which is why I'm hooked on Youtube

Wonderful image of Joe G. A retired firefighter who has been volunteering at the CCC longer than anyone else. He loves kids and has a great touch as a mechanic. Once the virus calms down I look forward to resuming tuesday evenings with him and many others.

CCC makes or modifies many of their tools. With many of the smaller kids bikes there is not enough seatpost to fit the standard clamp width. The vice grips workaround lets you still elevate them for easier access.
