Pride Ride is this weekend! No bike? No problem.
If you don't have a bike, you can borrow or rent one from a place like Green Earth Bike Rental.
Worried your bike isn't road worthy? Arrive Saturday early at 9:30 am and the South Bend Bike Garage will do a free tune up/minor repair! They are also serving as sag wagon in case of any bike malfunctions you won't be stranded.
If you need a major repair, the Bike Garage has open hours Wednesday evening at their location at Angela and 933. They will teach you how to fix your bike, or you can volunteer to earn a bike, or buy one for a very reasonable price.
