The next Santa Monica community ride is this Saturday! We’re meeting at 10am at Santa Monica City Hall and heading over to @sustainability.smc, where GoSaMo is hosting a bike safety workshop. Just like attending the workshop isn’t required to join the ride, joining the ride isn’t required to attend the workshop. You don’t even need a bike to attend the workshop. So if you know anyone who’s not yet comfortable getting around on a bike, this workshop is for them too! Check the 2nd slide for details and the RSVP link. And please RSVP if you do want to attend the workshop so no one gets mad at me 😂 During the ride, we’ll explore existing and upcoming infrastructure in Santa Monica, and we’ll return to City Hall afterward. All bikes, all ages, and all abilities are welcome, as always. No one will be left behind. We recommend bringing a helmet, water, a spare tube if you have one, and good vibes. DM or comment if you have any questions!
