Winterize Your Ride

Saturday, December 1; 1:30pm-3pm
Harvard Allston Education Portal, 175 N Harvard St
Allston, 02134
“Winterize Your Ride” workshop and open discussion

It’s totally possible to commute by bike in the Winter! …But you do need the right tips.

Join us for a “Bicycle Commuting for Everyone: Winter Edition” MassBike presentation, followed by a discussion on the various options for converting a bicycle so that it is more efficient, effective, and easier to maintain during the winter months. Winter can be a tough time to bike in Boston but the instructors have experience riding through some of the worst of New England’s weather, and will cover the tips and tricks they’ve picked up in an informative presentation.

Presentation is created and supported by MassBike and the Boston Collaborative for Food and Fitness (BCFF)
it’s free, and open to everyone and anyone.

And we’ll cover the easy ways to keep your brakes nice and tight. This will be low-key and hands-on — so be prepared to bring your bike, maneuver tire levers, and pump!
