More Information: Please click here for additional details.
Healthy Workplace, in partnership with C.U. Cycling, is offering a drop-in mini-fair where you can get your bike tuned up just in time for cycling season and learn some valuable information and tips on cycling! There will be a variety of exhibitors from around the community with tons of great cycling information, demonstrations and the latest cycling gear.
The event will take place from 11:00am – 2:00pm beside the GSA’s bicycle tune-up station (next to the Architecture Building, between the UC and Canal Building).
Bring your bike along to the event for some hands-on help with a tune-up. We hope to see you there!
