    Covers changing tubes, degreasing + oiling chain and bike, taking off and putting on wheels. It's alright like, fairly basic.

    Yep, covers the basics, and you can try out your new skills on demo wheels/bikes which is worth doing.

    As stated above I assume this obviously means you do not need to bring your bike?

    Also how long does the class take?

    Cheers. :)

    You don't need to bring your own bike. Class takes about 90 mins if I remember correctly.
