1 Education and training

There is no formal education requirement to become a bicycle mechanic, but you will need to learn the basics of bike mechanics and maintenance. You can do this through self-study, online courses, books, videos, or workshops. However, if you want to advance your skills and knowledge, you may consider enrolling in a certificate or diploma program in bicycle mechanics, offered by some colleges, trade schools, or bike associations. These programs usually cover topics such as bike anatomy, tools and equipment, troubleshooting, repair techniques, safety standards, and customer service.

It is much easier to learn the mechanism of a bicycle if you do own one. Dismantle you bicycle slowly and gently - begin by opening all the screws, bolts & nuts (which you can remember) and try fixing them back. Try this everyday, and each day you do this, increase the number of parts you dismantle. Make sure that the dismantling is done in a clean and tidy place. One day you would reach a point when there are some leftovers after you have re-assembled your bicycle. That's the point where you decide whether you really want to become 'bicycle mechanic'. Once you have made up you mind; go to the nearest bicycle mechanic and ask him to fix it for. Watch him and learn as he fixes your bicycle. This way you can become a true bicycle mechanic.

2 Experience and certification

To gain practical experience and confidence as a bicycle mechanic, you will need to work on different types of bikes and situations. You can start by fixing your own bike or helping your friends and family with theirs. You can also volunteer at a local bike shop, co-op, or charity that provides bike services or donations. Another option is to apply for an apprenticeship or internship at a reputable bike shop, where you can learn from experienced mechanics and get hands-on training. To demonstrate your competence and professionalism as a bicycle mechanic, you may also want to obtain a certification from a recognized organization, such as the Professional Bicycle Mechanics Association (PBMA) or the United Bicycle Institute (UBI). These certifications usually require passing a written and practical exam, and may have different levels of difficulty and specialization.

Bike shops are not what they use to be. There markets have expanded outside of the basic pedal transportation. Many shops have expanded to items such as , cycling gear- apparel, exotic high end bikes, extersise equipment, sporting goods, and E-bikes. Know the needs of your market, future employors, and clients. Learn the mecanical skills to work on electrical items safely. Invest in the proper tools like an quality voltmeter and torque wrenches. The days of using pliers and a Cresent wrench are gone with all the exotic precision materials used on bicycles. Make yourself visible at events and make acguitances in the business and sport. Having these skills and knowledge will make you attractive to employers. You can do it!

One of the best ways to become an aspiring bicycle mechanic is by working with experienced bicycle mechanics on the job. You can do this by working as a mechanic assistant or even better, get an apprenticeship. The apprenticeship will be advantageous as it will provide you not only with practical but also theoretical experience.

Bicycle mechanic falls under the artisan in the family of engineering. To learn the craft, one needs minimal level of education, at least basic education. One squires the skill through on the job training. It does not require sophisticated tools or training. Just the knowledge of basic tools like spanner, screw driver, hammer ?? etc. A bicycle mechanic is self reliant and can make a living through the trade.
