Bike Basics for Beginners

Past event
May 15, 2019, 6:30 to 8 PM

Spring is here and thoughts turn to the out-of-doors. Maybe you want to get in shape and start biking to work; maybe you are a weekend warrior; maybe you have a bike in your garage that needs a little TLC. Any way you look at it, a little tech help on your bike might be a good thing.
Ryan from Waterbury Sports will be giving a workshop on Bike Basics for Beginners at the Waterbury Public Library, Wednesday evening, May 15th from 6:30 to 8 pm. Learn the basics of the anatomy of your bike, and techniques for cleaning and maintaining your two wheeled transporter. No need to bring a bike or tools- Waterbury Sports will run you through what you need to know on one of their own bikes. Call 244-7036 to register for the workshop.
