Bike Clinic Roadshow FAQs

What is this about?
It is a FREE clinic on the basics of bike riding.

Who should attend this activity?
The Bike Clinic is especially designed for newbies – those who want to try riding a bike but do not know how to start. Biking
may seem overwhelming with all the jargons and technical stuff but we’ll do away with that and just focus on the BASICS.
Everyone is welcome – guys and girls, kids and adults, students or professionals! If you are new to the wonderful world of
biking and still have doubts, concerns and fear, we will do our best to clarify your doubts, address your concerns so you can
face your fear and start riding safely and smartly!
Note: Children who are joining the Bike Clinic are expected to be guided by their adult companion.

I’m not really a bike newbie, but can I accompany my “newbie” friend to the clinic?
That’s perfectly fine. If your presence can encourage your friend to join the clinic, by all means, you are also welcome to join.

When will this be held?
Save the date: Sunday, 25 July 2010. Bike Clinic will start by 8 AM and is expected to finish by noon.

This clinic is a project of Firefly Brigade – a non-stock, non-profit, and SEC-registered citizen’s volunteer action group which

can. We will be posting the schedule of the bike clinics so that you can mark your calendars and invite your friends and family
to attend.

Is there a need to bring a bike?
For participants that already have a bike, please bring it to the clinic. Don’t worry about parking. Tiendesitas is a bike-friendly
place and there are bike parking racks available.
There will be a short ride around the vicinity of Tiendesitas after the lecture. Please bring drinking water and don’t forget your
helmets. We strictly follow the rule: No helmet, no ride.

I don’t have a bike yet, can I still join?< Yes, of course you may still join the clinic even if you do not have a bike. We may be able to teach you a thing or two which can help you decide the best bike for you.
