How do you know it's time to welcome Spring?
It's bike time!~
Yup, time to drag those bikes out from behind the clutter, out from the dust and dirt and time to start ridin'! Ok, if you've been riding all season long, excellent! :)
Our 2nd series of workshops "Workshops for Volunteers by Volunteers" starts this April!
You voted and we provided! Our first bicycle maintenance workshop takes place on:
APRIL 10, SUNDAY from 1-3pm at Britannia, Rink Mezzanine Room
Registration Deadline: April 8, 2011 4pm
or first 10 registrants, whichever comes first! :)
Topics covered will include:
Overall inspection
Safety & security
Wheels and tires
Fit and comfort
Brakes
Steering
Chain and gears
Please bring your own bicycles to work on as this will be a good learning and fixing opportunity for you to get your bicycles in shape and ready for the road!
Minor adjustments and repairs will be conducted. Bicycle replacement parts and supplies can be purchased from our instructor (bicycle guru and mechanic, Erik, from VanCycle Mobile Bicycle Shop) on-site so please bring your money! :)
Please note that because this workshop only has spots open for 10 individuals and 10 bicycles, we will take the first 10 people who respond by email with:
Your full name, contact number and email address.
The workshop is FREE for active BRIT VOLUNTEERS and a minimal fee of $10/person* will be charged for anyone who wants to come (accompanied by a Brit volunteer) who would like to attend the workshop. E.g. Brit volunteer's friend or family member. These workshops can generally run from $50-80 per session, so grab this amazing learning opportunity while you can!
*The fee for guests does not include bicycle parts and supplies.
For more information about this workshop or to suggest others in the future, please email me directly.
Thanks!
