Hey all you lady cyclists (or would-be cyclists) out there– just a heads up that Revolution Cycles is holding two Ladies’ Night gatherings this month with free wine, food, and great biking information.  This Wednesday, head out to the Crystal City Revolution Cycles from 6:30 to 8:30, and next Thursday August 12, head to the Georgetown shop from 6:30 to 8:30.  Women from the Revolution Cycles team will discuss where to ride, why to ride, and how to ride safely and comfortably.  The point of these sessions is to reduce barriers so we all feel more comfortable riding around the city.  It doesn’t matter if you’re a serious triathlete or a casual bike  commuter– we all need to know how to change a flat and how to properly maintain a bike.  So come for the bike knowledge, and stay for the wine and refreshments.  All they ask is that you RSVP for Crystal City (8/4) or Georgetown (8/12) beforehand.  See you there!
