Hey folks! I'm teaching this class this coming weekend at the Woodlawn Swap & Play. If you're wondering how to merge your family and bikey lives, I'd love to help you master the fabulous world of cargo bikes, trailers, kid seats, and more.

Introduction to Family Biking
Saturday, April 21, 2012
Woodlawn Swap & Play
704 NE Dekum St
10 am – noon

Are you bike-curious? Don’t let your children hold you back! This two-hour workshop will give you the knowledge and confidence you need to hit the road by bike with your kids onboard. We’ll discuss equipment, rules of the road, route selection, winter riding, and strategies for successful trips with kids of all ages. Biking with kids is a great way to get more exercise, see your neighbors, reduce your gas budget, and bring more joy into your life. Whether you’re hoping to take pleasure rides on weekends or give up a family car, this workshop will give you the information you need to get started!

Workshop is $7 for Swap members, $10 for non-members. Printed materials, coffee, and snacks will be provided. Come with questions, worries, and obstacles—we’ll tackle them together! RSVP to janine@janineeckhart.com.
