Free Summer Biking Workshop Series: “How to Commute by Bike”

Thinking about commuting by bike and wonder how to get started?  A 3-part, virtual workshop series on “How to Commute by Bike” will be offered throughout the summer by the Department of Transportation and Parking Management. The series will be run one time per week for three consecutive weeks and repeat in June, July, and August. The workshop topics cover equipment, safety on the road, and maintenance:

All workshop classes are held via Zoom from noon to 1 p.m. EDT, with time for questions at the end. Registration is required for each class. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the class.
