TAPS is excited to team up with Ecology Action to support the UCSC community in riding safely and confidently, and to help those who are interested in picking up the habit. This workshop is a perfect entry for people starting to explore cycling during SIP, or as a refresher for cyclists who want to hone their riding skills during this time.
And to make sure you're riding safe, all workshop participants will be entered into a giveaway for a bicycle care package, including a portable pump, multi-tool, and patch kit.
