Grab your bicycle and helmet, or just simply join us, as young and old are invited to a free bicycle safety and basic maintenance workshop to be held Saturday, July 12^th at the Soule Branch Library. The library is located on Springfield Rd, across from Le Moyne College, and the event will run from 2 – 4:00 PM.

Children are encouraged to bring their bicycle to learn basic bike maintenance and how to change a flat. Learn why wearing a helmet is not only smart, but cool as well (low cost helmets will be available on a sliding-scale basis). Find out from the experts:

• What traffic laws apply to people riding bicycles?
• Can a cyclist ride on roadways or is riding restricted to shoulders?
• What are the proper hand and arm signals?
• Do riders under age fourteen have to wear protective headgear?

The event will take place rain or shine so come on out and join the fun!

This event is made possible through the generousity of the Bike Loft and the partnership of the Onondaga County, the City of Syracuse, the County Libraries and the Onondaga Cycling Club.
