Wednesdays 6:00pm		Sociable Ride
		Join Recovery Bike Shop at Sociable Cider Werk's weekly social ride. Gather at 6:00pm. Easy paced ride departs at 6pm. Well supported. No drop. Just a great way to explore the city with good people. This ride is mostly on bicycle infrastructure and loops for about ten miles. Free cider and conversation back at Sociable after the ride.
By Appointment		The Grocery Run (Route Planning)
		We're piloting a program to build individual routes for riders in Northeast. Build confidence with personalized, accompanied practice rides on city streets. Pick any 2 spots in NE, like your house and the grocery store. We'll plan the route and ride together at your pace. Studies show that most people are confined to cars out of fear and would ride more if they felt safer. And since we all enjoy riding more when more people enjoy riding, we offer the Grocery Run as a confidence boosting bike ride. Practice hand signals. Talk about riding etiquette. Perform a safety check. Review riding and traffic laws. Ask questions. Get answers. These rides are slow, patient, boring, and involve frequent stops. Join us! IMPORTANT: The number one thing that makes people more comfortable is other riders. If people see you ride, it inspires others to ride!
1st & 3rd Wed 5-7pm		DIY Night
		Free bicycle repair! You do the work, we show you how. Use our tools. Use our shop. Mechanics on duty. Get your questions answered. Hang out. Free! No experience necessary! Also, we love volunteers!
