WHAT’S
HAPPENING
For many Oregonians, biking is a regular form of transportation, and what better
way to celebrate your love for two wheels than participating in Bike Month? May
is National Bike month and Eugene has a ton of events to peddle through in its last
week. The University of Oregon Bike Program is holding a Bike Touring 101 event on
Thursday, May 25. Come gather stories, tips and inspiration for your next adventure
from 6-8 pm at the UO Outdoor Program Barn on the UO Campus. It’s FREE. Later that
night, cruise by Arriving By Bike (2705 Willamette Street) for a Flat Fix & Prevention
Clinic to learn how to fix a flat tire, and prevent one in the first place, from 7:30-9:30
pm. Pre-register in-person or call 541-484-5410. The clinic is $10. Wake up bright
and early on Friday, May 26, for Breakfast at the Bike Bridges from 7-9:30 am. Meet
at Richardson Bridge on Fern Ridge Path (near Quaker St.) for free bagels and cof-
fee, as well as bike safety checks and bike maps. FREE. On Saturday, May 27, bike
to and tour the home of permaculture enthusiast, Jan Spencer, during the Bike to
Permaculture event. The group will meet at 12:30 pm at the Center for the Advance-
ment of Sustainable Living (1801 Moss Street) and bike over. FREE. On Sunday,
May 28, GEARs Bicycle Club is hosting some rides — one to Franklin Firehouse, at
9 am, and a beginner ride on the Mill Race Path, at 2 pm. Both rides are FREE and
meet and start at Alton Baker Park. Visit eugenegears.org for more rides during the
week. On Tuesday, May 30, REI (306 Lawrence Street) is holding a free Bike Mainte-
nance Basics class at 7 pm. Finish up Bike Month on Wednesday, May 31, for a DIY
clinic with the UO Bike Program to make waterproof panniers, a type of bike basket
that is slung over a back rack, out of plastic buckets. Bring your bike and rack in
order to get the perfect fit. The event is 6-8 pm in the UO Bike Program office in the
EMU on the UO Campus. FREE. — Meerah Powell
