Questions, answered
The useful details before you begin.
Do I need previous bicycle repair experience?
No. Foundation lessons begin with tools, wheel retention, and a complete sequence.
What tools should I have?
Most lessons use tire levers, a compatible pump, a spare tube or patch kit, and a bicycle-specific way to remove the wheel.
Are the courses for road bikes only?
No. The catalog includes commuter, family, touring, compact, and tubeless-focused lessons.
Can I learn without a bicycle nearby?
You can understand the sequence away from a bicycle, but hands-on practice with your own setup is the most useful next step.
How do I choose a course?
Start with The Flat-Tire Foundation, then choose repair, touring, or workshop lessons based on your needs.
What does Fallows mean?
Fallows is your saved-course list. Selecting Save to Fallows stores course IDs only in your browser.
Does Baseline Velo repair my bicycle remotely?
No. The lessons are educational and do not replace an in-person inspection when a bicycle is damaged or unsafe.
How can I ask a course question?
Use the contact form with your bicycle type, tools, and the step that needs clarification.
