Details
Join Bike Easy for an easy and informative Community Bicycle Safety Workshop as part of the Freret Street Festival! Bike Easy will also be providing Bicycle Valet, so we can keep an eye on your bike if you want to explore the festival before or after the workshop.
All are welcome, especially adults and their families (children, grandparents and friends). Through hands-on activities we’ll help build your confidence to integrate bicycling into your everyday tasks. More bicycling will make you feel healthier, more connected to your community, relieve stress, and get you where you need to go without getting stuck in traffic and by saving money in your wallets!
