nyc's girl's night out - bikes

there is a women & trans bike-repair class being hosted each monday night at 6:30pm at
156 Rivington St. (between Suffolk & Clinton St in Manhattan's Lower East Side) in the basement.

while this seems like a fantastic idea, it does come across as a little gender biased, but then, it's probably this way to keep roving, new yorkers, foaming at the mouth, from showing up at a bike-repair meeting to pick up on girls. this means that girls can learn how to fix and build bikes w/o worrying about boys hitting on them; so ultimately, a plus.

while most of the world doesn't actually live in or near new york, if you do, you're that much more capable of accessing a female-based bike group with the wherewithal or the savoir faire help you learn how to maintain your two-wheeled ride.
