Help Tara become a Certified Bike Mechanic!
I have been riding bikes most of my life, and I am going to become a bike mechanic to always be able to make money doing something important to me. I do not own a car and travel almost exclusively by bike. I have coordinated a bicycle program for a nonprofit, toured, organized with bicycle community groups, and currently work at a bike shop. Having this certification and skills as a bicycle mechanic will empower me to be able to have steady work at a decent wage doing something I love.
I am going to take a two week course at United Bicycle Institute in Oregon, check it out! http://www.bikeschool.com/classes/mechanic-clas...
I may take extra classes to build wheels and shocks, subject to how much funds I raise and availability.
I work two jobs currently and have no savings because of student loans. I do not regret my education or loans, as I learned a lot and have a lot more opportunities because of it, but my degrees don't directly relate to how I want to support myself financially. SO, I am asking for help from the many amazing people I have met along the way through my cycling, activism, and other adventures. These funds will pay for tuition, travel, food, and housing!
