More bike fun than you can shake a rusty chain at.

There was a really cool turnout for the Bike Forum the other night at the LGBT Community Center of the Chippewa Valley. Our local Bike Guru, Ali "gwow-gwow" Gillberg dropped some well-earned knowledge on the cyclists who swung by. The people who attended ranged from right green newbies to bike junkies who build bikes in their sleep. And so went the discussion. It was laid back and conversational and allowed for a lot of great question and answer. Ali has years of on-the-job experience and a little piece of paper from the United Bicycle Institute in Ashland, Oregon. Plus she was raised in the wild by Bike Hippies, so it's in her blood.

While at the meeting, David Shmul and Zac Barnes announced a cool event going on this Saturday. There will be a Community Bike Fix event at Banbury Place, Bldg. 17 from noon-5:00. Consider stopping by. Bring tools if you have them and consider bringing a food item for the potluck. It will be a big warm fuzzy ball of bike grease and smiles.
