YMCA to Hold Women's Bicycle Commuting Class Thursday

Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA:

The Ecke YMCA, Women in Transportation, iCommute and the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition are pleased to offer a free bicycle education class to help people gear up for Bike to Work Day on May 17. Bike to Work Day is a nationally recognized event that supports bicycling as a viable, environmentally friendly, cost-saving commute choice that can help lower traffic congestion while getting people more fit.

The bicycling class will be held on April 25th from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Ecke YMCA, 200 Saxony Rd, Encinitas, CA 92024. A League of American Bicyclist Certified Trainer will offer safety tips for roadside biking and ways to help improve bicycle commutes. The class is open to anyone, but we encourage women participants.

Electra Bicycle Company will be on-site to show their support and provide demonstrations of their bicycle products and accessories. Those that register for Bike to Work and log their trips will have the chance to win an Electra Bicycle.

Attendees can RSVP for the bicycling class to Shannon Hughes at shughes@ymca.org.
