Women's Bike Maintenace Class: Bike Demystification, Basic Maintenance, and Flat Fixing

She teaches project-based mathematics at a public high school in Manhattan for recent immigrants, where she also facilitates an after-school bike mechanics and cycling program.

The 2018 Micro-Tour 02 will ride from 718 Cyclery on May 12th up through Westchester County to historic Croton Point Park. These 44 miles will mostly be traversed at a calm elevation on protected bike lanes (Hudson River Greenway, South County Trailway and North County Trailway). Campsites (#2 and #5) will have potable water, access to bathrooms, but no electricity. Ride leaves 8am sharp from Chambers Street and the Hudson River Greenway in Manhattan (or, you can make arrangements to meet group along the way). Ride back can be of the bike or train variety (heck, so can the ride up if you'd like!)

Bike Club is an immersive way to get involved with 718 Cyclery. Doors open at 7:30am every Saturday for free coffee, home-made muffins and some great acoustic jams (just kidding on the jams). Sneak out of the house early to ask our staff that nagging question, throw your bike up in the stand for some free advice, or ask us about getting set up for our next trip/tour. Think of it as open-office hours.
At 9:15, the Club will spin up to Prospect Park with a 718 Employee for a great ride around the park (weather permitting). This is no-drop rides at a conversation pace, intended to foster community rather than fuel aggression. Helmets are required.
We do need you to sign up, so that we know how many muffins to bake.

718 Cyclery in Gowanus is dear to our hearts. For the past few years 718 has been an asset to the cycling community. From shop rides to races to classes 718 has gone above and beyond what we expect from a local bike shop. But a bike is only as enjoyable as the road or trail you ride it on.
That’s why 718 Cyclery is collaborating with us on our new Bike Shop Membership Partner program. As a proud supporter of Transportation Alternatives and safe streets, 718 Cyclery will now be offering a free year of TransAlt membership with every bicycle purchased. Awesome!
To celebrate, we’re having an event on Wednesday, November 16th at 7 pm. We’ll have Brooklyn Brewery beer, snacks, and a presentation on winter cycling and "#bikenyc in 2016. To sweeten the pot, anyone who joins as a TransAlt member at the event will be entered into raffle to win a Blaze Laser Light.
Please RSVP here for the event, as space is limited.
Micro-Tours are a quick way to escape the city on the weekend, on your bike. Meet at the shop on Saturday, meet new friends, ride to our destination, eat, camp, and return to the shop on Sunday. No work is missed, but worlds are opened up.
