Bicycle Workshops

Submitted by Rachel on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 10:08

Join us on at 7 pm for a one-hour workshop followed by a half-hour bike ride this summer on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays of each month. Topics include Basic Bicycle Maintenance, How to Get Around Town, What's a Derailleur, and more. Depending on the topic and the weather, workshops will be held in Brashear Park or in the Adair County Health Dept. For the post-workshop bike ride, please bring your bike & helmet. Lights will be available for loan or purchase ($10). Your $10 donation per year (optional) supports KA-Motion.

2013 Schedule:

Bicycling with Traffic

Submitted by Rachel on Wed, 03/06/2013 - 12:31

There is still time to sign up for Bicycling with Traffic. We'll help you understand how to dress comfortably for the weather, and we'll only bike on streets and parking lots if they are safe and clear. We'll keep outside sessions short if it's cold, but you will more likely be too hot than too cold!

Two Mile Challenge Wrap Up

Submitted by Rachel on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 18:23

I had a great time doing the Two Mile Challenge this year. My favorite part is the community that develops on the forum, and then getting to meet everyone again at the party at Pickler's Famous, a treat made possible by Dr. Kevin Marberry.

I was excited to see in Walgreens tonight a sign proclaiming their new program, Walk with Walgreens. This is right in line with our agenda, to promote active transportation. You can sign up at Walk with Walgreens, and receive discounts and a chance to win a $100 Walgreens gift certificate as you log your steps.
