Can you believe it? It’s already the end of August and here we our putting out our September events schedule.

Summer has been a long hot one and frankly, we’re a bit happy to see it on its way out. Since we’ve been kept real busy with all the long days of fixing/talking/dreaming about bikes and riding, we decided that this month we will keep our events on the light side.

Expect the FNR to continue on its usual schedule as well as a couple other special occasions including a party celebrating our 4^th anniversary! More importantly we’d like to remind you that we’ll be using September to catch our breath in anticipation of a bunch of other cool stuff we’ve got in the dockets for October.

We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves so check out the below schedule for more details.

 September 9 FNR

September 13 Maintenance Workshop

Thanks again to all the folks who came out for our last workshop at the onset of August about Preventative Maintenance. It was great to see so many flavours of cyclist (commuters, cycle tourists, roadies, and recreational cyclists) all interested in keeping their machines in tip top operating condition.

Now that we’ve passed on some invaluable knowledge about how to diagnose and identify some common issues, our September workshop will give you a chance to actually get some grease under your finger nails. We’ll be discussing drive-trains and gearing specifically this time around, including showing participants how to make all the relevant adjustments.

Stay tuned over the coming months for more workshops. Based on your feedback so far future workshops will certainly include more tire and tube changing and patching, wheel building and truing, as well as how to safely and securely pack your bike for travel.

September 16 Full Moon Ride

Just another fortnight to go! Join Peter and the gang for a wonderful moonlit cruise around town. Open to anyone interested and sets out from Tianfu Square. Stay tuned for more details.
