Join your friends and family in jumping on your bicycles and rolling with us on a casual breakfast ride! Meet at Martini’s downtown by 8am. We’ll cruise at a leisurely pace of ~10mph to and from Aunt Childers Eatery – East Peoria. It is a about a 3mi ride there including a detour to check out some murals in the Warehouse District and just 1.2mi back. After the event is over you’ll have an opportunity to peruse the Peoria Riverfront Market.

During this 2-hour workshop, you will learn ready-to-apply know-how to properly maintain and use your bicycle. We will cover the basics of bicycle maintenance and mechanics with a primary focus on brakes and shifting. We will be working with a large variety of bikes, so this workshop will be great for you if you fit one of these categories:

– You are a total newbie to bike mechanics, and you are looking for a way to get started.
– You have been riding for a while now, and you want to learn how to get the most out of your bike.
– You are an expert mechanic, but you just got this newfangled contraption from Japan and you know you can figure out how to put that hexagonal gear thing back together if you can just figure out where that orange springy part goes!

***This workshop will be very hands on and has a limit of 6 students. Please register to reserve your spot!***

Participants are encouraged to bring their own bikes. If you don’t have a bike, one will be provided by the Bike Peoria Co-op. Many bikes have different styles of wheels, brakes and shifters, so a larger variety of bikes means a better class for everyone!
