Free winter bicycling classes in December

by Erica Mauter • When I started riding my bike to work this summer, I had big ideas of continuing it into the winter. At least up until it snowed.

I stopped riding in July, I think. For a variety of decent and lame reasons.

fresh.mn is a cityblog for and about life in the Twin Cities, published by Erica Mauter. Contact erica@fresh.mn

So maybe you’re hardier and more intrepid first-time-bike-commuter than I am. If a lack of knowledge about what to do differently for winter bike commuting is the only thing holding you back right now, there’s help for you.

494 Commuter Services is providing free winter bicycling training classes. Doug Shidell, publisher of the Twin Cities Bike Map, will be there to teach you what you need to know.

Course content includes: Equipment, lighting, maintenance, clothing, road conditions, preparation, tips for your ride and safety.

A demonstration on-bus rack will also be available so you can practice putting a bicycle on a bus.

Each free class will be held at the Edina Community Center
5701 Normandale Road. Edina, MN 55424 (location and directions).

-Monday, December 1st from 11:30 – 12:30 in room 332
-Tuesday, December 2nd from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. in room 165
-Saturday, December 6th from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. in room 165

Please RSVP to melissa@494corridor.org no later than November 26th – sandwiches and materials will be provided.

Questions? Please contact melissa@494corridor.org

News you can use

Choose your school

By James Sanna , TC Daily Planet

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

By staff , l'etoile magazine

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
