Overcoming the Challenges of Biking to Work – A Free Webinar for Women

Women of Maryland: Are you interested in biking to work but also a bit scared by the idea?

Regardless of where you work, what you do or how old you are, there are huge advantages to using your bike for transportation. But as two women who bike to work each week, Meshia Sutton and Alison Gillespie know it can be challenging and even intimidating.

During this Bike Maryland webinar, Meshia and Alison will discuss:

• Planning your route for safety
• How to carry things on a bike efficiently
• What to carry
• How to arrive at the job looking professional despite Maryland’s weather
• Keeping your bike in good maintenance
• Buying the best bike for your body
• Safety equipment and clothing choices for riding
• Dealing with harassment on the road

We hope to provide a safe space for women to ask any question. We want to help you feel confident when you ride!
