Saturday, March 10, 3:00 pm Steve Clark of Transit for Livable Communities - How to make bicycling work for you and your city Come and update yourself with what our cities have done and will do this year to change bicycle transportation. Have you ever wondered what makes for a bicycle friendly community? Or how you can use a bike to do everything from going to work to hauling a canoe? This comprehensive and entertaining presentation will show that even if the bicycle doesn’t ultimately save the planet --those who embrace it will have a lot of fun trying.

Sunday, March 18, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's Bike to Work We Go Long time Twin Cities Bicycling Club member, Gordon Fink, will talk about the fun, fear and follies of bicycle commuting. Have you considered cycling to work but don't know where to start? Have you biked to work only to encounter doubt, derision and debate from your co-workers? Are you a long-time commuter who would like to share war stories with novices? Gordon will speak about commuting year-round with stories, close calls and an overview of equipment and techniques; winding up with time for questions and your own commuting tales. Many insist they get to work more quickly on a bike; and the cities plow the bike paths before they plow the streets. What a wonderful reason to take to your bike in winter!
