A bike mechanics night for women, trans-femme, and nonbinary folks who feel comfortable in women-centered spaces.
Gender Equity Mechanics (GEM) is a time and space to talk about bikes and biking, learn how to work on them by watching and doing, or to just come hang out and take a breath. GEM is a supportive atmosphere for sharing, learning, practicing and relaxing. Drop in, pick up some tools (or not), and enjoy a mocktail with us.
When? GEM nights are the THIRD FRIDAY of the month, 5pm-7pm
2025 Dates: February 21st, March 21st, April 18th, May 16th, June 20th, July 18th , August 15th, September 19th, October 17th, November 21st, December 19th
Where? Our Community Bike Garage is at the rear of Bike Newport headquarters, 62 Broadway in Newport. Enter through the back door. Our phone number is 401-619-4900.
