Twin Cities Daily Planet- Grease Rag Winter Skill-Share

By : Lowrah · December 3, 2010

Grease Rag friend Karen Hollish, reporter for the Twin Cities Daily Planet, wrote a great article about the Skill-Share.  The photo portraits of Lee and Carly are really sweet.  Read it here!

Only the most brutal, ice-encrusted conditions can keep commuter Lee Penn off her bike.

"If my pedals can't clear the snow pack," she said Sunday, "then I pull out my skis and ski to work."

Penn was one of nearly a dozen hardy commuters huddled at Sunrise Cyclery for the second annual Winter Skill Share. The event was hosted by Grease Rag Ride & Wrench, a social, supportive group for women, trans and femme bikers.

During the warmer months, Grease Rag puts on casual group rides and communal wrenching sessions. And now Grease Rag gives us a primer to staying warm, safe and upright on our bikes this winter.
