Wednesday Webinars

In February 2021, the BCM introduced “Wednesday Webinars,” an ongoing series of remote learning opportunities hosted via Zoom. Each webinar features a unique topic and at least one guest speaker discussing subjects from safe cycling practices, finding/forming group rides, and biking in the winter to e-Bikes, bike-packing, and avoiding injuries.

These webinars are FREE but you must register ahead of time.
