CALENDAR It’s summertime and even those of us who never pedal are looking at our bikes as modes of recreation and transportation. But what do you do if your bike breaks down? BRING is putting on a bike repair clinic and bicycle-powered machines demo, sponsored by Arriving By Bike. BRING says the hands-on workshop with trained bicycle mechanics is for novice and advanced gearheads alike. You can just learn the basics or “find inspiration for adapting tools like grain mills, band saws and grinders to human power using bike parts.” In addition to the workshop BRING tells EW “several local makers will be on hand to demonstrate their bicycle-powered inventions and discuss methodologies for developing useful tools that run on human power.” BRING bike repair clinic and bike-powered machines demo is 11am-2pm, Saturday, July 23, at BRING’s Planet Improvement Center, 4446 Franklin Blvd. in Glenwood; $3-$5 sug. don.
