Ramada Jacksonville Hotel & Conference CenterWeekly Skill Share with David (Bike Mechanics)2026 series
A weekly bike mechanics skill share offers a practical and welcoming class for beginners and experienced riders alike. The focus is on building confidence and know-how so you can maintain and repair your own bicycle. Each meeting dives into everyday upkeep and troubleshooting, such as fixing flats and swapping tubes, checking pressure and choosing suitable tires, adjusting rim and disc brakes, tuning shifting and derailleurs, cleaning, lubricating, and replacing chains, performing bolt checks and basic safety reviews, quieting squeaks and rattles that can end a ride, recognizing when a bike is unsafe, and deciding what can be handled at home versus when it is time to visit a shop. Participants can bring their own bike or work on a shop bike. Learning is hands-on, with plenty of time to ask questions, try tools, make mistakes, and learn together. All skill levels are welcome and no prior experience is needed. Tools are provided, and you are welcome to bring any parts you want to install. The aim is to pass on skills, boost confidence, and keep more bikes rolling, especially for people who may not have easy access to a traditional bike shop or formal training. The emphasis is on mutual aid, self-reliance, and community rather than perfection. You do not need to be a gearhead. Curiosity and a bike are enough.

Consider It YogaBest of the Best Bull Carbon Tourney
At Park Avenue Billiards, a Bull Carbon Cues sponsored tournament invites top performers for a double elimination competition organized by skill tier. Entry is free, and registration is open to players who placed within the top four of their MVP bracket or who hold a leading position in the Hot Shot standings. The event features separate 8-Ball and 9-Ball fields, with three champions crowned in each format. Every champion receives a high end Bull Carbon cue. Eligibility is defined by two scoring systems. MVP measures efficiency as the percentage of points you earned out of the total available in your matches. In 8-Ball each match offers three points and in 9-Ball each match offers twenty points, so simply playing more does not raise the percentage unless you score. Hot Shot rewards performance by granting points for victories, adding the skill level of every opponent you defeat. Results are tracked separately for each team, and opponent skill is based on end of session levels. Together these metrics highlight both efficient scoring and strong wins against tougher competition.
Park Avenue BilliardsBonsai on Tap @ Engine 15!
Bonsai on Tap offers a relaxed, hands-on bonsai workshop at Engine 15 Brewing taught by Skydog Family Bonsai. Over roughly 2 to 3 hours, participants learn how to repot, trim, shape, wire, and care for a bonsai tree. All pruning tools are provided for use during class, and everyone leaves with a bonsai plant, a pot, soil, and a rubber duck for a bit of fun. The session is set in a covered, open-air space and includes one complimentary beverage with each tree, so enjoying a cold beer while you work is part of the experience. Couples can share one plant with one included drink, or each person can create their own tree for $70 per person. The class is led by Mike Groeschel, owner of Skydog Family Bonsai, a name that honors his grandfather, guitarist Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band. Spots can be reserved in advance.
