GEM (Gender Equity Mechanics) Night with Bike Newport 🚲

A bike mechanics night for women, trans-femme, and nonbinary folks who feel comfortable in women-centered spaces.

Gender Equity Mechanics (GEM) is a time and space to talk about bikes and biking, learn how to work on them by watching and doing, or to just come hang out and take a breath. GEM is a supportive atmosphere for sharing, learning, practicing and relaxing. Drop in, pick up some tools (or not), and enjoy a mocktail with us.
