You've got your dream bike; we've got the tools, expertise and resources to keep it in top shape! You'll find that REI services are unmatched by other outdoor retailers and department stores. If you've got a problem with your bike, its components or its accessories, we can take care of it for you.
Join us for our Bike Month clinics and events, including "Commuting 101," Bike to Work Day Snack & Swag Stop, "Training for Cycling," Kid's Passport to Adventure Kick-Off Party, and "Get Geared for Texas Tri Season."
Commuting 101
Tuesday, May 12, 7:00-8:00pm, at REI Austin Downtown
I want to commute by bike but...
... I have too many questions and fears.
... I can't figure out a good safe route.
... I don't have a way to secure my bike.
If the above thoughts sound like your own, then you need to come to Bike Commuting 101. We're going to take a look at commuting in Austin and cover a variety of topics and concerns of the commuting newcomer--including what kind of bike works, what clothes and tools you need and how to find a route that works for you. We'll also show you photographs and videos of how to do it safely. Still skeptical? Your instructor, Preston Tyree, doesn't own a car and after 100,000 miles of urban commuting hasn't ever been hit by a car. This class is free and open to the public.
Bike to Work Day Snack & Swag Stop
Friday, May 15, 7:00-9:00am, at Whole Foods Market (Lamar)

Training for Cycling
Wednesday, May 20, 7:00-8:00pm, at REI Round Rock
Training for cycling is a clinic for folks looking to improve their experience on the bike, whether at a recreational or competitive level. Action sports sales specialist and exercise physiologist Robyn Pettinger will show you strength exercises using minimal equipment that cater to at-home training. Whether you've been off the bike for a while and you're ready to dust it off or you'd just like to shave a few minutes off your regular route times, come and learn some simple exercises that will build strength and prevent injuries. This FREE clinic will provide great advice for upcoming Texas charity rides and racing seasons.
