Gear Up! Workshops - March

[Ainsley Naylor]

Hello Pirates and cyclist friends,

We are about to begin our second cycle of Gear Up! Workshops at Bike Pirates! Please spread the work, join the facebook group, hand out some flyers, and - heck - consider attending the workshops or volunteering to run them!

Gear Up! is a new ongoing series of workshops for Women- & Trans-Identified folks. There are three workshops running the first three Sundays in each month after Bike Pirates' regular Women & Trans operating hours.

March's Workshops:
First Sunday (March 4) Intro to the bike! Anatomy, fit and flat fix

Second Sunday (March 11) Gears and Brakes

Third Sunday (March 18) Advanced topic: Wheel Truing

Workshops run from 6:30-8:30pm (please be there on time). Attendance is drop-in on a first come/first served basis, and $5 / Pay-What-You-Can

More info is available on the Bike Pirates website (Women & Trans info page).

Thanks!
Ainsley.

Hey folks, just an update to let you know that tonight's workshop went great! Despite the freeze taking over the city we had 4 volunteer and 6 new participants (none of whom were our friends!). Things went smoothly and everyone seemed super-posi and had a good time.

Also I noted that this time everyone who attended made a donation and was happy to do so. (The money has been left for Monday operations to process.)

Let me know if you plan to volunteer next week, or sign up on the google calendar. Stoked to see even more new faces next week!

Ainsley.

Are Gear Up workshops still offered? I'm just asking in case the web site needs updating.
