Ride with Me Series – Beginner to Intermediate Bike Ride w/Pat Aylesworth
Pat built their bike Vaga in Winnipeg 15 years ago at the Bike Dump and the “Vaga”bond has traveled with them through the years, but not being ridden as often as it should. So at the beginning of summer, Pat dusted off Vaga, gave it a tune up and has gone on many bike rides since.
Being back home has rekindled their love for bike riding and they are looking forward to exploring the many new bike trails Winnipeg has to offer. Please join Pat….
These rides are for everyone and are particularly well suited for the beginner rider who may benefit from a bit of coaching. Along with a special guest and destination, each ride will include a cycling instructor to offer tips and tricks and make sure you are comfortable. Not sure the rules of the road? Wanna learn more about a kind of riding? Don’t know the best routes? Join us for a fun way to get familiar. If you can pedal and stop, why not take it to the next level and go for a ride?
Consider this an intermediate bicycle lesson disguised in a little adventure.

A. Yes please! We have bicycles, cargo trikes, tandems, and handcycles available at the starting location for rent by donation.

Q. I have a bike but it needs minor repair/adjustment.
A. Bring it to us, if it is a simple repair/adjustment we will help you on the spot, if a major adjustment we can take a look at it but bring it in early or rent one of ours while your bike gets looked at.
