Weds, Feb. 29: Wine, Wenches & Wrenches

Ever wondered what “Women’s Specific” REALLY means when it comes to bike design? Today’s manufacturers are doing more than “shrink it and pink it.” To find out how they tweak bike geometry for women’s bodies, and what you should look for in a bike that fits YOU, join us at this month’s sponsor shop: Bob’s Bikes in Homewood.

When: Wednesday, Feb. 29, 5:30-8ish p.m.

Where: Bob’s Bikes, 205-879-2258, 1944 28th Ave. S. Homewood, Ala.

Why: Sip, socialize, and learn about women’s specific products.

  • The Specialized women’s line: How this brand designs road and mountain bikes for women’s bodies.
  • Women’s saddles: essential for any roadies with (ahem) “soft tissue issues”
  • Suspension settings: Why Specialized recommends different suspension settings for women versus men.

What to bring: Yo’ happy self! And a friend, if you want. Feel free (though not obligated) to bring a snack or sweet to share with the group. (Because we’re Southern, and we share!)

What to know: There will be libations, snacks, door prizes…and of course the SWAG FAIRY will be there. We’ll start sippin’ and socializin’ around 5:30 and get down to business around 6. Feel free (but not obligated) to bring a snack or sweet. Please RSVP so we know how much food to have.
