Residence FAQ & questions.
Where do I do my laundry? There is a washer and dryer in the student residence. On sunny days we recommend the environmental option using fresh air and solar power. Your clothes will smell fresher.
Are the meals catered? Nope, there is only one instructor and he teaches bike mechanics. There are too many different diets amongst the students for anyone to cope with such variety.
And you wouldn't want to eat his resticted menu either.
Students can do their own cooking, which is, to our knowledge, the only bike school which offers this feature but if you eat similar diets you can cook together! Shopping is only a short distance away. See Life on Quadra Island page for more information on Quadra Island amenities and stores.
I'm not bringing a vehicle! Students who don't bring their own bikes can use one of the shop rental bicycles for transportation. Rental is $200 for 5 weeks. $50 will be reimbursed if the bicycle is cleaned and tuned to its original condition before you leave.
