Bike Repair and Safety Extravaganza by MIT Spokes
Remember that old bike you got from the bike auction that you keep telling yourself you’d fix, but never got around to?

Bike repair and maintenance may seem daunting to do by yourself, especially when you are juggling 5 classes, 2 UROPs, and a varsity sport, but MIT Spokes is here to help!

On Sat. April 23 from 12PM - 2PM, MIT Spokes is hosting a bike repair and safety workshop on the steps of the Student Center.

We'd like your bike to run smoothly and last a long time, as well as raise awareness of bike safety. We will be covering repair and preventative maintenance topics ranging from fixing flat tires to tuning shifters and brakes, as well as answering any bike safety questions you may have.

Please RSVP here<https://forms.gle/mXTwSWsCGLjkqqQk7> so we know how many people to expect.

Food will be served. A bike-related gift will be given to the first 15 participants at each session.

MIT Spokes will bike across the US this summer, teaching STEM to middle-school students along the way. To learn more about us or support our trip, please pedal over to our website<https://www.mitspokes.com/>.
