As a young boy, I was an expert bicycle mechanic. I specialized in
taking them apart, and then not being able to get them back
together. My nemeses was the coaster brake.<br>

thing as a bicycle mechanic. I had a few bikes when I was a kid
and I didn't need any school to figure out how they worked or
how to fix them. To me a bicycle mechanic seems about as
necessary as a wheelbarrow mechanic. Are there any wheelbarrow
mechanic degrees?</p>

couple of vocational bicycle mechanic programs. The problem
such programs have is that everybody who pays for the course
expects a completion certificate, regardless of the skill
level they end up with. The link does mention that big
earnings should not be expected.</p>

<p class="ox-7e95d01636-MsoNormal">The program in the link
provided is not intended to train bicycle mechanics. It
uses the bicycle as a case study in modern manufacturing,
encompassing welding and fabrication of a variety of
materials (advanced high-alloy steels, aluminum, titanium)
plus composite (aka "carbon fiber") techniques, plastic
injection molding, CAD design work, etc etc. I find it a
very clever way of engaging the students. </p>
