Bonus fall community ride! Let’s ride something NOT paved. Leaving 5:30pm from Prairie Park Fishery - we’ll split up between the LAMBA singletrack and the crushed limestone Sac & Fox Trail. This is a no-drop ride - a choose-your-own adventure. Never tried mountain biking before? New to gravel? Let’s try it out! Grab your helmet, pack some water, and let's roll! See Facebook for event details.

(Note: bring lights if you have them, note the earlier start time to leave at 5:30pm, and this is not a ride for super skinny road tires, but everything else should work fine!)

Flat tire on the trail? Heading out for a ride only to realize that your tube isn’t holding air?
Join us for a step-by-step guide on how to:

• Remove and replace a bike tube and tire

• Patch a tube

• Reinstall a wheel

We highly encourage you to bring your own bike so you’re able to learn the techniques and tips on your personal rig. We’ve got plenty of bikes to practice on in case you need to borrow one. We’ll cover the necessary tools and techniques to keep you rolling!

Space is limited to 20 participants, so get registered!

This class is FREE to the community. If you would like to make a donation to Chain Reaction for attending the class, we’d suggest a $10 donation.

We’re teaming up with our friends at NewBo City Market! Our volunteers will lead the Meet Me at the Market group rides starting Thursday, May 8, and run all summer!

Calling all women/femme/trans/nb folks - are you ready to ride your bike to school or work? Let’s learn some commuting basics and share a 3-5 mile group ride.

In this hands-on workshop we’ll work through the basics of bike commuting.

We’ll cover:
✅ Bike Setup - basic bike fit, tire pressure
✅ Bike Gear - lights, bags/panniers, locks, rain gear, bike repair kits (and where to learn those skills)
✅ Riding basics on trail and road - communication signals, tips to navigate traffic
✅ Q&A - anything that’s on your mind - commuting clothes, frugal gear, best routes to get from your home to work
✅ Group ride - a 3-5 mile loop around town to see some city trails and bike lanes.

If you have a bike - bring it! It's okay if it's got some dust on it - this is a no judgment zone. We’ll have volunteers that can help you set up and walk through the functions of your bike. If you don’t have a bike, let us know so that you can borrow one from the hub.

Space is limited to 20 participants, so register here!

This class is FREE to the community. If you would like to donate to Chain Reaction for attending the class, we’d suggest a $10 donation.

Calling all women/femme/trans/nb folks that have not biked ever / as an adult / in years, or just want to get more comfortable with biking basics.

Join us for a hands-on workshop where we’ll demystify the basics of biking - led by women. This might be the first of series to get comfortable with commute/city biking if there's interest!
