The winter cycling community depends on the work of the work of the Snow and Ice Clearing Team to make it to our destinations in a safe and timely manner. The work they do can make or derail our day. This event will be an excellent opportunity to build understanding and connections between those who use the infrastructure and those who maintain it. This winter especially, they’ve had a difficult job, so let’s show them some love and help them to more effectively allocate their limited resources.

Be sure to dress for the weather, that your bike is ready for the road conditions, and don't forget your lock! If you need help making winterizing your bike, drop by our shop ahead of time and we'd be happy to give you hand.
