Essential Bike Maintenance and Road Skills Workshop
This is a 2-day bike skills workshop for people who identify as WTF. (registration required)
Thursday, May 2nd from 7-9:30
Sunday May 5th from 3pm-6pm
Bike maintenance can be intimidating and so can riding in city traffic. Moreover, every bike is a little different and there's so much lingo and culture around bikes that can feel hard to break into.
Join Vie Cycle and the mechanics at The Bike Church for a two day workshop that takes you through a progression of all the most essential maintenance skills from removing wheels to adjusting brakes and replacing cables.
All questions and skill levels are welcome! Bring your own bike and be prepared to work with others to learn about the many different systems and bike styles.
The class is hands-on, with time for practicing skills and discussing bike culture and riding technique. After our 2nd session we'll take a victory lap through Santa Cruz to celebrate our love of bikes and importance of visibility for WTF cyclists.

DIYine: A Celebration of Homebrewing
Saturday, March 30th 6-10pm
|
Bubbling away under stairways, in closets, or in forsaken corners of the garage, all across the County an ancient tradition lives on: that sacred collaboration between man and microbe that converts sugars into alcohol. On Saturday, March 30th, the Bike Church is hosting an event celebrating this wondrous art. We are pleased to announce the seventh annual DIYine (pronounced “D I Wine”), a tasting event featuring samples of homemade fruit wines, beers, mead, and soft drinks. The event will be at the Museum of Art and History in downtown. In addition to being a fun event, it’s also a fund raiser, with all proceeds going to support the Bike Church. Get a chance to sample some more traditional beers and wines, as well as unique items like plum port, loquat amaretto, lemon heather mead, and rhubarb-raisin sherry. We’ll also have a selection of soft drinks like kefir, kombucha, and our famous Breath of Fire ginger ale. The event also includes hors d’oeuvres and live music.
