Bike Workshop

[tulip]

The club has never had any complaints about the location.

Oh, we'll your post sounded like no one had signed up and that many previous participants were from the city (I assume Boston), so I thought that perhaps the location was an issue. Carry on, then! It loos like an informative workshop.

I meant maybe someone from TE to sign up. We have participants for this year; traditionally, they sign up at the last minute, like the week before. I think it's just that we are dealing with some of the people who are not only learning about bikes and bike skills, but they are also trying to get fit, as opposed to others who are reasonably active and then they decide to start riding. The best example I can give, is someone who wants a bike to take a little ride on the path along the Charles. Maybe they are thinking of going to Walmart to get the bike. Then they come to the workshop and get hit with things like derailleurs, changing a flat, and what, there's special shorts for riding? So, we've adjusted to the fact that we have to teach to widely varying levels of familiarity and comfort with some of the things we are presenting.
It's still fun, and it makes me think of how much I have learned in the last 11 years.
