Chick's Bike Night
Are you fairly new to cycling?  Do you need a little more confidence and know-how to keep your steed rolling along the roads like a dream?

Then listen up!

It’s time for girls to take over the cranks and we’re teaming up with the crew at Giant to bring you a bike maintenance session that’s aimed especially for girls.

Why only for girls?? hmmm… we know that sometimes it’s quite intimidating to come to a ride session, where there are loads of peeps with their bikes, just talking bike stuff and mechanic language, and that for some, it’s as plain as Double Dutch!  And not to mention the anxiety that bubbles up if you do get a flat and the awkwardness that ensues when chivalrous gentlemen come to the rescue (a.k.a takeover) almost immediately.   How the heck are you expected to learn?!?

Well, the point of this session is to encourage girls to come together, learn from the best, share stories, ask questions and get the confidence they need to working on their bikes….by themselves.

We will be:

* Teaching you some general bike stuff that you will find useful when out riding
* Going through bike terminology, taxonomy and anatomy
* Showing you the basic checks and tricks to make your bike run safely and smoothly
* Familiarization of commonly used bike tools and some new ones
* Maintenance of tubes, tyres, brake systems, chains, and more
* Troubleshooting typical problems and how to fix them
* And helping you to know when you can tackle the task head on and when it is appropriate to refer to the experts

There’s nothing like riding a bike in top condition and being self-sufficient on a ride.  But it takes a little love and maintenance to keep your ride in peak condition and this night will give you the confidence to do just that!
