34/15: Slow Spokes GEM Night
📍Free Cycles (732 S 1st St W) from 6:30–8pm
Gender Equity Mechanics! Join us at Free Cycles for a gathering of trans, non-binary, gender-expansive people, and women interested in learning hands-on bicycle maintenance and repair skills. All skill levels welcome!
Co-led by Free Cycles staff and Slow Spokes organizers, we’ll practice fixing common mechanical issues like flats and broken chains so you’ll be prepared next time it happens to you in the wild!
5/26: Bikepacking 101
📍Free Cycles (732 S 1st St W) from 6:30–8pm
Whether you’re bikepacking-curious or want to gain a new perspective on our favorite way to recreate, come to our most-loved workshop of the year: Bikepacking 101! Our Gear Library will be available to peruse and check out after the workshop.
Absolutely no experience, knowledge, gear, or money is required to show up and learn with us — bring your questions, curiosity, and a friend!
6/6: Dusty Bandita (aid station)
📍Ovando, Montana from ~9am–1pm
Grab your costume box! We’re returning to The Dusty Bandita, an all-day gravel event run by and for non-binary and women cyclists. Help us fuel and encourage riders in true Slow Spokes fashion! We’ll be back at the first aid station loaded with Twizzlers, electrolytes, and plenty of good vibes.
