Free Family Cycling Workshop at Chabot Elementary

Originally posted in Rockridge Patch Events

Safe road bicycling takes a lot more than balance, a helmet and a good attitude.

Join the East Bay Bicycle Coalition's League Certified safety instructors on April 7, 1:30 p.m. at Chabot Elementary (6682 Chabot Rd.) for a day of fun games, safety drills, skills building, and a neighborhood ride.

This workshop is for kids who are able to ride a bike and ready to take to the streets and paths with their parents. Parents and kids must attend together and should bring their own bikes and helmets.

Each child receives a free red blinky light for participating!

The Bikemobile mobile fix-it station will also be joining us, starting at 12:30 p.m., to offer free bike repairs and adjustments. This service will be available for adults and children alike, and not just participants of the family workshop.

As an added bonus, everyone who attends an EBBC Family Workshop through the end of May will automatically be entered into a raffle to win an Xtracycle Free Radical Classic, the "minivan of bikes" which turns any ordinary bike frame into a cargo bike suitable for carrying big loads of groceries, multiple kids, or almost anything else you can think of.
