BIKE WORKSHOP SHED HOW TO
We created a special camp to say, “Yes, you can!” At Girls Bike Camp, many campers learn to ride a bike for the first time, and everyone learns how to ride confidently and safely. We started Girls Bike Camp when we learned that a number of girls from the neighborhood were told bike riding wasn’t for girls, that they shouldn’t or couldn’t ride bikes. Girls Bike Camp, for girls 8-13 years of age, takes place over April school break. Wave to us when you ride by on the bike path!
