Have you always wondered what you would do if you got a flat tire while out riding your bike? Don’t worry about having a flat any longer.  Come learn from experienced cyclists how to easily change your own flat tire. You can bring your bike if you’d like, but it isn’t required. The entire program will be spent outside; please dress appropriately for the weather. Dressing in non-cotton layers is encouraged.   Reference the 3Ws of layering for more information about how to dress. Classes will begin promptly, so plan to arrive early. Please bring a completed waiver and review the participant equipment list.
