Discover Hartford Bicycle Tour

Discover Hartford Bicycle Tour FREE Flat Tire Clinics 
SATURDAY 9/15/2013 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM 


WHERE:  Behind Real Art Ways--56 Arbor Street, Hartford CT 06106 MAP

WHAT: In concert with the Discover Hartford Bicycle Tour, there will be a flat tire clinic.  The instructor, Tony Cherolis, will demonstrate a basic bicycle tire change and discuss the steps involved.  As desired the attendees will have the opportunity to practice the steps of a tire change on a bicycle wheel (and optional bicycle) they bring with them.  The course will be outside, just like you are changing a tire on the side of a road.  The best time to practice a tire change is when you "aren't" on the side of the road - and that's what this clinic is - practice. 

WHERE:  In the parking lot behind 56 Arbor Street, the building that houses the Bike Walk CT offices.  We'll hold the course outside even if it drizzles a bit, because in the real world it rains sometimes.  If there is severe weather we will move the Flat Tire Clinic indoors to the lobby space at 56 Arbor.

WHEN:  Sunday, 9/15 at 4PM.

How much?  FREE for Discover Hartford Bicycle Tour Registrants, donations will be accepted.  $15 for those that aren't doing the tour.  If you are a non-tour registrant, I'll take payment at the start of the clinic.  REGISTER for the Discover Hartford Bicycle Tour HERE 

How do I register?:  Register online, below.  Registration required so we know how many folks will be attending.  Registration for each clinic is limited to 15 people.  

What should you bring?:  If you want to get the most out of this, you will have the following.  You can find all of these things at your local bike shop.  Having the basics for a flat tire on your rides is a great idea.

  1. A bicycle wheel with tire and tube installed.  It can even have a flat tire.  You'll use this for your practice.  If the tire is attached to your bicycle and you need a wrench to remove it - bring the wrench.
  2. A spare tube, no flats in this one.
  3. Tire levers
  4. A bike pump.  Floor pump, mini-pump, CO2 cartridge.
  5. A patch kit for bike tubes.  I prefer the style with glue, not the self stick kind, but if you must use self stick I won't mind.
  6. A positive attitude.  Actually, this should have been #1 on the list.
