BTCNJ is hosting a Bicycle Maintenance Clinic for members on April 30 at 7:00 PM at the Ridgewood Public Library—led by longtime member and all-around bike whisperer, Rich DeMair.

Rich has been part of BTCNJ since 1996 and has ridden in countless club events. What started as a hobby of building his own bikes turned into something much bigger—he’s refurbished and donated over 5,300 bicycles to 15 charities and people in need. (Yes, really.)

Whether you’re new to cycling or just tired of being “that person” with the mechanical, this clinic will give you the confidence to handle the basics and keep your ride rolling. We’ll cover flat repair, brake and derailleur adjustments, cleaning and lubrication, bike part identification, what to carry in your seat pack, and more—plus plenty of time for questions.

Spots are limited to just 15 participants—sign up on the BTCNJ website to reserve your spot before it fills up.
