The whole family is invited to the Longmont Bike Extravaganza, a free bike event where you can get your bike fixed for free.

This event was created to get more people biking by providing simple bicycle repairs on items such as flat tires, brakes, chains and minor adjustments. Traffic Safety Coordinator Lauren Greenfield noted that basic repairs like these can make a big difference for some families, particularly when an older bicycle has fallen out of use due to simple breakdowns that some people may lack the resources to fix. Repairs that will not be provided include derailleurs, cranks, wheels or full tune-ups.

The event will also feature complimentary refreshments, bike helmet giveaways, 2023 bike maps of Longmont and some “skills and drills” activities for young riders to get in some fun practice with their wheels. Join the fun at Clark Centennial Park (on the east side of Lashley Street between Ninth and Mountain View avenues).

Those interested should sign up for a time slot in advance at bit.ly/repairmybike.
