Introducing: PN2K Bike Repair Workshops

One of the main goals of our nonprofit is to instill confidence and self-sufficiency with biking. Therefore, we will be holding bike repair training classes in three sessions, taught by bike maintenance professionals. Class 1 will be the basics, Class 2 will be practice (practice, and more practice), and Class 3 will be actual fixing of (other's) bikes (under the supervision of a bike savvy repair professional). After you attend all three sessions and volunteer for x number of hours fixing bikes (under PN2K office hours), we will award you with our PN2K bike certificate and a free PN2K membership. 

Class one will be on Dec 6! Don't miss out. RSVP to the facebook event here

Join us for the 2017 World Day of Remembrance. Stand in solidarity to honor those who have been injured or killed by a road traffic crash. The vast majority of these crashes are preventable through engineering, education and enforcement. In numbers, we can recognize our loved ones, and also demand action from our elected officials. 

Please wear yellow.
