A free class called “Introduction to Bicycle Commuting” will offer an overview of basic considerations for the beginning bike commuter, with time for questions. The class, taught by veteran bike commuter and UW Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator Chuck Strawser, will be from noon to 1 p.m. Aug. 24 at University Bicycle Resource Center, HC White Garage (Lot 6). Free Planet Bike blinky light sets will be given to the first five attendees.
