Bike maintenance class

I'm a 63-y-o woman new to Pittsburgh excited to explore rail trails in PA. (There were almost none where we moved from.) Would like to take a basic bike maintenance class, but didn't have luck finding anything current via Google or searching this message board. (Looks like I may have missed something just this past weekend?) Maybe they're just not starting up yet post COVID? Would appreciate it if anyone has leads or info. Thanks.

Welcome to Pittsburgh. Free Ride (a block or two north of Penn Ave, near where it leaves Pittsburgh for Wilkinsburg) used to have a 6 week course that I found very valuable.  I don't see anything scheduled, but if you watch their site. you might see the class come back. Free Ride Pittsburgh – Pittsburghs DIY Bicycle Collective (freeridepgh.org) Alternatively, you could take you bike to Free Ride or Kraynick's bike shop (on Penn in Bloomfield/Garfield/Lawrenceville  - dunno the boundaries) and just ask someone to help you tune up your bike, and ask a bunch of questions. I would hope there would be something better than these suggestions, for sure, but I know of nothing
