E-Bike Safety Workshop May 22, 12pm –  Santa Cruz Civic or via zoom. E-bikes are here to stay, and with the right preparation, riding them can be safe and rewarding. The fact that they tend to be faster, offer powerful acceleration and be heavier than standard bikes means that they require some additional know-how to operate safely.  That’s why we’re here – we’ll be your guides to everything you need to know to get the most out of your e-bike, whether it’s your own personal bike or a BCycle bike share.  RSVP Now

Community Ride and Bike Repair  May 24, 1 – 3pm –  Callaghan Park in Watsonville. Participants can get their bike repaired for FREE and then join in on the community ride in Watsonville. Details
