POSTPONED:How to Choose and Fit a Bicycle
Bikes are a great way to get around the city, get in shape, and have fun! If the spring weather is making you consider getting on two wheels, you might be wondering what the difference is between a mountain bike and a hybrid, or why a road bike might not be the best choice for Toronto roads! During this 1.5 hour seminar, we will discuss different types of bikes and their uses, as well as ways to adjust your new (or old) bike to make it as comfortable as possible.

Introductory Mechanics
Whether you want to do your own repairs, or just understand what your mechanic is telling you, it’s always helpful to know a bit about bikes! This workshop will get you started with an easy introduction to bike mechanics. You’ll learn about the different parts of the bicycle, how to assess a bicycle for needed repairs, and will get to practice fixing a flat tire – the most common problem we have with our bikes!
