7/9 and 7/13 E-bike Basics 101 & Sunday Ride
Do you want to learn more about e-bikes? Are you in the market to buy one? Come learn the basics! Eugene Electric Bicycles, the local specialty shop, will be with us to talk about the e-bike class system, motor types, battery safety and care, and what to look for when shopping for an e-bike. They will also be teaching us about mechanical and electrical components, so you will leave with a better understanding of how all bikes work. After the class you can test ride a bike to get a feel before our ride on Sunday.
You must have taken the Basics 101 class to participate in today’s ride. We will have a ride at a later date for others. We will meet at Eugene Electric Bicycles and have a quick review of the Basics 101 class. The experts at EEB will go over security and give a demonstration covering key maintenance items like flat repairs, adjusting brakes and gears, as well as cleaning and lubricating your bike to keep it running for years to come. Then it’s time to ride! We will stay in a group and ride for approximately 2 hours. EEB is offering 20% off of bike rentals for the ride ($40), helmets, locks, and baskets. We will meet at their shop located at 675 River Road and ride along the South Bank Bike Path to Knickerbocker Bridge, through Alton-Baker Park to the Owosso Bridge and back to the Shop.
