Tonight is the next installment of our virtual Fix Tonight is the next installment of our virtual Fix Your Own Bike session! Last week we talked about fender mounts, making bike bags, different saddles and whether they affect what people wear. You can't use our tools, you can't come into the shop, but you can get as much of our solid advice as you need so you can take the next steps toward getting your bike riding right again. Some of our top mechanics will be on the call so it's going to be a lot like NPR's Car Talk, but for bikes. Plus, if you have a smartphone or webcam, we can help you diagnose what is happening in real time. If you just want to hang out and talk bikes, that's cool too. THIS IS 100% FREE. Email shop@bikeathens.org with "FYOB Zoom" in the subject  line and we'll send you the link to join in. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #my_athens #athensga #BikeAthens #FixEmAll #RideBright #thebikeistheanswer #wekeepheavymetalrolling #cycling #outsideisfree #roadbikes #bikesafety #ridesafe #bikesafety #cycling #mtb #mountainbike #mountainbiking #mtbiking #biking #freeride #bikes #bikelife #cycle #instabike #bikestagram #ride #keepoldbikesontheroad #26aintdead #whyAthensGA #ridemoredomore #keeppedaling #nonprofit
