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.
About GEM: We’re changin’ it up because we want to close the gender gap in the cycling community and in bike shops.
What you can expect to gain at GEM:
- More mechanical skills, knowledge, assurance
- Comfort and confidence to ask and learn
- Understanding of a good bike fit
- Knowledge to care for your bike
- More gender equity in the bike world!
