Sometimes bartape doesn’t want to stay on securely the way you want it to. Luckily that cork from your previous bottle of wine can come in handy to provide an easy fix!
Got a bike hack you are proud of? We’d love to share it with the world (and will of course give you credit for your idea!).

The Walking School Bus is a great way for kids to all get to school together, on foot! It’s the concept of a school bus, but without the bus. Giving kids the chance to know their community and neighborhoods while on their way to school, supervised by adults of course.
You have a legal right to be on the road and we’ll give you the tools to make it easy. Our workshops teach traffic psychology and techniques that will empower you while you ride. August’s workshop is held in the afternoon, giving you more time to sleep in before you join us as we share our bike joy and knowledge with you!
When: Saturday, September 17th, 8:30am – 1:00pm
Where: Coalition Headquarters, 860 Pacific St, SLO (map)
Why: With confidence, bicycling is a safe and enjoyable way to travel. Join the movement!

Being able to carry stuff on your bicycle is a great way to make riding a bicycle the best way to get around. Rear racks are really easy to find (try the Bike Kitchen!), inexpensive, and simple to install on your bicycle.
Most of rear racks give you the ability to use a bungee across them in order to strap things onto it, the same can be done to front racks as well.
NOTE: Before you take off to ride, make sure nothing is going to get in the way of your wheels, this could cause you to crash! Check that the intertube is solid and is properly holding down whatever is on the rack.One of the best ways to communicate with motorists while you’re on a bike is to make eye contact. This way you can be sure they see you, and you can let them know what you are doing.
