The woody Y century & Family fun ride

Start the cycling season by participating in this fun, well-organized ride to benefit the Asthma and COPD Education Center (ACEC). ACEC is a new non-profit dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of those with asthma and COPD through direct services to all Kern County residents.

The ride has a route for all levels of rider from novice to expert and families are encouraged to participate. Included are fully supported aid stations, experienced SAG support, and a wonderful lunch from Big Dan the BBQ Man. A fun festival will complete the event and will include music, food, a raffle, massage and acitivites for the kids.

Take your bike off the wall and out of the garage, dust off the seat and start pedaling to get ready for the Woody Y Century and Family Fun Ride.

Early registration ends April 1, 2010.

All riders MUST wear helmets.

Roadside Flats

 

We at Bike Bakersfield believe everyone should know how to change a flat. Flats happen and you should always be prepared. Carry an extra tube, a pump or c02, a tire lever and for those of us who have bolt on hubs make sure you have the appropriate wrench to get your wheel off. If you do not know how to change a flat please feel free to stop by the Bike Kitchen Tues, Weds, Thurs and Sat between 10am and 2pm or on Fridays from 1pm-5pm and ask me how. I will be more than happy to teach you!

The Office

We at BikeBakersfield really enjoy visiters. Travis Boe a local artist and avid cyclist stoped by on Monday to check in on us. His bag company BoeBags will also be sponsoring our allycat in may. When your in the downtown area come by and share your experince with us.
