Free tuneups!

- Other activities to be announced. Watch this space for details!
Our bike commuting workshops cover bike maintenance, traffic skills, how to carry loads on a bike, and why you'd want to use a bike for transportation in the first place. Also, we offer free bike tune-ups--we can't do everything, but bring your bike and find out: if it's simple, we can probably fix it on the spot, and if it's not, then we can give you some idea what needs to be done. The workshop itself lasts about an hour; we'll hang around as long as necessary afterwards for tune-ups and questions.
