Bike Trip Tune Up

September 5th, 2024 

We had the scouts bring in their bicycles to be evaluated for safety by Trek, a local bike shop in Hooksett.  Simon and Ben donated their time to review the bicycles that the scouts have.  They did a great job not only reviewing the bicycles but also letting us know about the "M" approach to bike Maintenance.  I also discussed bicycle anatomy with the scouts, along with how to inflate tires, and other basics of bicycle maintenance.
