Bike Commuting 101 Workshop

Are you ready to take your morning commute to the next level? Or are you just ready to give your wallet a break from gas prices? Learn from the experts about bike commuting basics including hauling gear, what to look for in a solid commuting bike, riding while “business casual,” rush hour rules of the road, and more.
As Santa Cruz county expands its network of protected bike lanes and paths, now is the perfect time to explore commuting by bike. With the right preparation, including biking as one of your commute options can be a breeze.
This workshop is offered both in-person at the Ecology Action offices (877 Cedar St, Suite 240) and virtually via Zoom. Lunch will be provided for all in-person attendees. RSVP HERE: https://bit.ly/3p0CVmb
Staff from Ecology Action will share the need-to-knows of bike commuting, trouble-shoot your commute and after-work errands, and help cyclists of all levels plan for a safe and satisfying ride.
We’ll also cover all of the GO SC benefits available to you, including bike financing, free two-week e-bike test rides, free transit passes, and much more!
