Calling all the women out there! Babes on Bikes is part of the GEM (gender equity mechanics) program at Two Wheel View. Join Lori and Two Wheel View for this FREE community bike event where Lori will lead you on a ride from her book, Calgary’s Best Bike Rides, and we’ll all enjoy some post-ride snacks at the Two Wheel View headquarters.

More about GEM
Gender equity mechanics (GEM) is a volunteer opportunity aimed at increasing gender equity in cycling and the community, so that women, trans-femme and non-binary (WTFNB) folks feel comfortable and empowered engaging with bikes. GEM events help curate a safe space to learn skills, build confidence and grow community, as well as support Two Wheel View’s mission and vision. All levels are welcome.
