BARR BIKE' S TOOL SCHOOL CLASSES
 

Andy Stewart has been successfully designing and teaching bicycle maintenance classes to the public for more than over 12 years.  As an avid cyclist, his dedication to teaching others is rooted in a simple idea that the more people understand about their bicycles, the more they will enjoy their cycling experience.

Andy has been a bicycle mechanic, instructor, and service manager for over 20 years.  He began his career in bicycle mechanics learning at the prestigious Barnett Bicycle Institute in Colorado, where he later worked as an instructor from 2002 through 2005. 

Over the years Andy has enjoyed a wide range of cycling experiences. A few examples; building a frame for extended touring (including RAGBRIA), attending the Olympic Training Center’s mechanic certification program earning a CAT3 rating (later acting as neutral support at some area roads races), participating in and training for MTB races (including The Chequamegan 40 and the Kansas Death Ride),  and of course, giving great service to countless customers.
