Description

All newer riders listen up! Please join our friend Zoe Worsham, who will share important information she wishes someone told her when she started riding bikes. Anyone is welcome, no matter the bike you ride or riding style you prefer. We'll plan to set up outside based on the weather and temperature. If the weather won't cooperate, we'll move inside. Please come on time, we have many topics to cover: - naming the bike parts; - inspecting a bike before each ride “The ABC Quick Check”; - basic bike maintenance: cleaning and lubricating the bike; when to bring the bike to the shop; how to check the wear of the chain; - tire pressure; - how to put a dropped chain back on; - basic information about the proper bike fit; - small adjustments that can be done with a multi-tool related to a better bike fit; - nutrition; - proper clothing; - chamois cream talk; - any accessories one should own and always have while riding (what to have in the fix-a-flat kit); - rules to follow while riding greenways. We're looking forward to talking bikes with you and helping you to become a more confident and knowledgeable rider!
