Upcoming E-bike Classes with Bike Walk Tompkins
All classes will take place at Swamp City Community Cycles (Community Bike Shop @ 803 Cascadilla Street). Pre-registration is required for all classes. The registration fee for each class varies. However, we never turn anyone away due to lack of funds. If the financial barrier would prevent you from participating, you may use the code:
- WHEELIE for half off the registration fee
- FREERIDE to completely waive the fee
We trust that folks will self-assess if this is what they need in order to participate.
