Interested in kicking off National Bike to Work Week with a refreshing Monday morning bike ride? 

Join Ventura County firefighters, dignitaries, and avid cyclists on a family-friendly, 10-mile recreational ride on Monday, May 15, 2017, and help celebrate the installation of Ventura County’s first public bicycle repair stand.

The free Bike “n” Ride event kicks off at Giant Bicycle in Newbury Park with riders departing at 9a.m. Led by cycling enthusiast Jack Nosco (VCFD Fire Captain), participants will travel from Giant Bicycle to Ventura County Fire Station 33 in Thousand Oaks.

Friends and family who do not go on the ride are invited to Station 33 to cheer for riders as they cross the finish line! Cyclists will begin arriving at 9:30 a.m.

At 10 a.m., Ventura County Fire will unveil the County’s first bike repair stand. From changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs, the bike repair station features an air pump, tools and mounts to securely hang a bike so riders can make adjustments. This stand is one of 16 repair stands to be installed near Ventura County Fire Stations.
