CALENDAR Now that the weather is getting nicer, many Eugeneans are pulling out their bikes and starting to commute the green way. But if your buns are sore or knees are creaking with every stroke of the pedal, you may want to go to the Getting Fit to Be Fit bicycle fitting clinic with Jay Loew. Loew is a licensed body geometry fit expert who has performed hundreds of fittings. He hopes his free clinic will help dispel some of the misinformation surrounding bike fittings. “I’m a bicycle tailor,” he says, and “the fitting is kind of like the tailoring.” An unfit bike can cause joint problems and make bicycling painful. “Rather than the person adapting to the bicycle we make sure that the bicycle is adapted to the person.” Though attendees won’t get their bikes fit at the clinic, they’ll get to see a demonstration and learn what a fitting can or can’t do for them. There will be snacks and juice, and attendees get a discount if they sign up for a fitting. “They’ll be getting accurate information and they can ask as many questions as they want,” Loew says. A fitting typically costs $250 plus parts and takes up to three hours. Loew hopes to help more people join the sport of bicycling. “Your bike doesn’t have to hurt when you ride.” Getting Fit to Be Fit with Jay Loew will take place from 2-4 pm on Sunday, March 26, at Collins Bike Shop, 60 E. 11th Ave. FREE. — Kelly Kenoyer HEALTH Cognitive Emotional Wellness Acupuncture, 10am- 12:15pm, Trauma Healing Project, 2222 Coburg Rd., 687- 9447. $10.
