Thanks for all the helpful replies. I had already checked bike shops in my area and few offered what I was looking for. My schedule means I don’t have a cycling club (can’t get out at the usual times) and ride mostly solo or with a couple of mates who are similarly useless when it comes to the basics!
Anyway, my plan had been to post on AirTasker for somebody. I used this thread to come up with a small list of things I’d like to learn and offered $100AUD ($65USD). No takers.
I appreciate its not a usual job for AirTasker, but I figured I’d find at least one enthusiastic amateur, but not to be! Perhaps people think I didn’t offer enough?
My friend made, what I consider to be, an interesting observation: this isn’t a cheap hobby so “enthusiastic amateurs” probably don’t need $100 or have better ways of earning it.
I’ll post again at some point. A local shop dies offers courses, but you need to get ten people together (whilst I have a group who would be interested it’s like herding cats). And I do hope to join a club at some point.
Until then I’ll make do with the YouTube videos!
Thanks again for the advice.
