Bicycle workshop at Descanso Gardens

Bicycling should be a cruising not a contact sport - and that can be a challenge in Los Angeles.

A member of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition and with more than 20 years experience in cycling and a car-free lifestyle in L.A., Ron Durgin will lead a discussion on Sunday, June 14 covering cycling theory, rights and responsibilities followed by basic maintenance and outfitting.

Afterward, the group will head out on a guided ride, so bring bike, helmet and water. Children 6 to 15 are welcomed but must attend with an adult.
Taking place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sycamore Science Center, the one-day workshop is $40, $35 members. Children ages 6-15 are $20, $18 members. For reservations and more information, call (818) 949-7980.
