Events

Join WE Bike NYC to learn how cycling can keep you young! WE will discuss health and nutrition, choosing the right bike, accommodating changing physical needs, and much more to keep us riding through our 50’s, 60’s and beyond.

This FREE event is for people thinking of getting on a bike for the first time or after a long hiatus. It’s also for experienced road cyclists, bike commuters, mountain bikers, and adventure cyclists who want to keep riding through their golden years.

NB: This workshop focuses on women, female-identifying, and gender non-conforming people looking to get on bikes and stay active past 50, but all are welcome. Younger riders, bring your folks!
