Overview

This bike riding skills workshop is aimed at providing novice riders with basic riding & traffic safety, skills and courtesy technics for riding in a group on roads and bike paths, and basic bike adjustments for optimal fit and how to fix a flat tire. It will be a mix of lecture/discussions, "hands-on" and a round-trip 14-mile ride to Lexington center and back to practice skills and techniques. We will pause in Lexington center to answer questions, reinforce techniques and make minor bike adjustments as needed then ride back to Alewife and have a final flats and Q & A session. We are looking forward to seeing you at this workshop and have space for up to 25 riders. Logistical details, a syllabus and more information will be provided to registered riders. A tube patch/tire iron kit to repair flats or a small multi tool will be provided to riders compliments of the Bike Committee.
