FREE and OPEN TO ALL (Got kids? See the bike rodeo below!)


Bring your everyday experience of biking, walking, driving and transit in Blue Island to our workshop and share it with us.

Kids Bike Rodeo—FREE!

10:30 AM to Noon

Parking lot across the street from the library

Bring your kids and we'll tune up their biking skills! A skilled Active Trans youth bike instructor will teach your kids safe cycling skills and tips while you're inside sharing your Blue Island biking, walking and transit experience.

Cal-Sag Cycles Bike Fix Up 

10:30 AM to 2 PM
Parking lot across the street from the library

Flat tires and squeeling brakes shouldn't stop you from beautiful Blue Island-in-the-fall cruising. The famed Cal-Sag Cycles youth can get your ride rolling in time for fall cruising. They'll be doing some basic wrenching—bolt tightening, seat raising, flat fixing, brake adjusting—for a donation that supports the Cal-Sag Cycles program.
