Bike Fit Clinic
Date: Monday, February 13th
Time: 6:30PM
Where: Victory Velo Bike Shop (map)
Julie Young will present a physical assessment of the subject followed by the bike fitting. Questions will be expected during the course of the evening and we hope all will take away some knowledge that will make your “relationship” with your bike a better one! The clinic is free, so it’s a “no-brainer” to attend. Anticipate spending about 2 hrs for the evening’s events.

Bicycle Safety Tip of the Month
The Right Hook
A car passes you and then tries to make a right turn directly in front of you, or right into you. They think you're not going very fast just because you're on a bicycle, so it never occurs to them that they can't pass you in time. Even if you have to slam on your brakes to avoid hitting them, they often won't feel they've done anything wrong. 
This kind of collision is very hard to avoid because you typically don't see it until the last second, and because there's nowhere for you to go when it happens.
