Yesterday I did a free workshop on changing a flat, bicycle fit, and basic maintenance at the lbs sponsered by Trek Fit for Women tour. Yeah, it was sponsered and yeah, there were pretty much Trek bikes for trying out, but it was a good event and I finally learned what I had hoped to. Plus there was food, and they gave away free stuff (a little book with pictures on all the how-to we learned, a water bottle, and a mini-tool.)
