"The Quadra Bike School offers a professional bicycle mechanic's training programme. Four students at a time live and learn on Quadra Island for five weeks. They also have time to explore Quadra's great trails, some of which can be reached from our own Animal Farm Trail. I began the first version of this course in Toronto with funding from the Bicycle Trade Association of Canada. That course still continues at the Learning Enrichment Foundation. The new course began on Quadra Island in 2011. It has kept up with innovations in tools and with the latest techniques such as mounting tubeless tires. We also keep up to date with important improvements in wheel tensioning and balancing."

Georgia and Smokey are total gems. We came in with a totally busted wheel on a bike tour and they sorted us out perfectly! My Dad and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with both of them and hearing many of their stories. They did an awesome job on the wheel repairs and we are super grateful!! Arlo the pup! also very lovely.

Smokey's bike shop is a hidden gem. Super helpful, explains any issues they found and is super fair pricing. Well stocked for a small island shop. It's hard to find a shop I like, but this is a great place to bring your steed

I spent five weeks at Smokey's shop learning and working under his experience, same class as Ben Herrington, who happened to review negatively. It was an incredible experience worth every dime. Not only does Smokey explain the fundamental skills required to work on bikes and keep them in tip top shape, you get an actual practical working experience over a 2-3 week period. The residence was nice as well, and Smokey made sure to check it on several occasions to ensure it was livable and everything was in working order. I have since been hired as a shop mechanic and have furthered my studies and obtained more experience along the way and taking more certification courses that were much less comprehensive than this one. You also learn about bicycle history, and much more, and many texts and insightful reads on bike mechanics are available at your residence. In short, if you are considering this program, just do it, it is the best option for aspiring bike techs, much more interactive than The Bike Room, and on top of it an incredible experience across a wider span of time altogether. It is definitely a program where you get out the amount you are willing to put in, and if you work hard you will be rewarded!

Smokey was super friendly and knowledgeable. My othhalf and I haven't ridden in years and this place was perfect. There was a nice bike trail entrance right off this property.

Aristotle discerns two traits in learning. Techne and Phronesis. The first one is evident: technique in other words to follow an algorithm of instructions. It implies rule following. The latter however, is about owning the sprit of the knowledge. To find out not only what it is but why, how and what it isn’t. Undoubtedly Smokey is Aristotle and Heracleitos of the bicycle mechanics together.  At Smokey’s course there is ample opportunity to gain solid knowledge. He will teach a bewildering wealth of how-tos and let you have your own trial and errors and to philosophize over what you have learned. He is a very friendly person too. He is certainly one of the handful highly interesting people I met in Canada.  This course is a total experience that revolves around bicycles but there is much more. It certainly helped me to acquire a whole new edge.

Glad we went to smoky he was awesome, great trails right at his doorstep .He was super hospitable.  Thanks again

nice to have a bike shop send u need one

My old school bike teacher. Best guy to learn from in the area.

I am grateful for having the opportunity to learn in a supportive hands-on environment.
