Free Bike Maintenance Clinic
 Bicycle Village is providing this clinic free to our members from 6-7 pm on Monday, April 26.
It will cover tire/tube repairs and the basic preventive maintenance to keep
you from breaking down on the road. You do not need to bring your bike as BV
will supply them.
Their mechanic will address specific issues raised by
participants. In addition, BCC members
will get two tubes for the price of one. If your tire repair and bike
maintenance skills are rusty, please join us to brush up; it will save you, and
possibly the group, some aggravation.
All Club rides are no drop, so members are expected to do
what they can to avoid holding up their group. This means: 1) showing up with well-maintained bikes
with fully inflated tires; 2) choosing the right group (A or B) based on the Club's minimum fitness
standards; and C) knowing how to change a flat quickly. Ride Leaders will
assist with tire repairs, but members are expected to do it themselves.
Watch for tire repair tips between now and the clinic in the
Spoke 'N Word Newsletter.
