Join us in a two-part event to learn about topics such as choosing and maintaining your winter bike, riding safely, dressing your cold-weather best, and more!
At the Winter Skill Share, our goal is to tap into the deep wisdom of our Twin Cities FTW biking community so that we can all have a safe, fun winter riding season. We will learn together by sharing our experiences of winter biking from our own unique perspectives.
This event is NEWBIE and BEGINNER FRIENDLY! Come with questions and leave feeling confident and ready to take on Minnesota’s most interesting season.
This event is FREE and open to all FTW (femme, trans nonbinary, two-spirit and women) riders! If you are a cis man who benefits from cis-male privilege, please respect this space and do not attend this event. Read more about WTF is FTW.

Outdoor Skill Share & Gear Swap – Saturday, November 8, 11am to 2pm
Meet up for the in-person (but socially distanced) skill share and gear swap at the tennis courts on the southwest corner of Powderhorn Park. Masks are required!
We will do a stretch and go-around, then let people begin biking (or diving!) to the workshop stops. Each session will be 15 minutes long. The Gear Swap will happen at one of these stops so be prepared to bring home goodies! The skill share and gear swap ends at the Powderhorn Park near the picnic tables where we will have another raffle!
