Winter 2026

Youth Bike Maintenance Clinic

Winter in Michigan may not be ideal for riding, but it is the perfect time to focus on taking care of your bike. We are partnering with local bike shop Loose Spokes to offer a hands-on youth bike maintenance clinic. Participants will learn how to care for their bikes, perform basic fixes, and receive expert tips to keep their ride in peak condition for the upcoming season. Clinic will be held at Loose Spokes Bicycle Shop in Grand Haven. Participants must bring their own bike. Help your young cyclist stay prepared year-round by giving their bike the attention it needs during the off-season.

Program Date: Thursday, February 26, 2026
