Vie Cycle
Competence, confidence and community building.
Vie Cycle offers bicycle maintenance workshops for women+. Women+ includes people who identify as female, trans, intersex, queer and gender non-conforming. Basically, all those folks who aren't represented in the Tour de France.
Through experiential education techniques, discussions and group activities you’ll learn bike lingo, anatomy, basic maintenance, and how to fix things when you're in a pinch. The workshops are focused around empowerment and confidence building, so you'll also learn about safe riding habits, fitting your bike to your unique body and how to access cycling communities in your area.
Vie Cycle often teams up with cycling clubs, women's organizations, schools, bike shops and small businesses to promote community building. If your group could benefit from a Vie Cycle workshop, take a look at the Workshops page.
We occasionally offer co-ed courses if requested specifically by a group. If you aren't sure if the "women+" label includes you, please contact us!

ConfidenceVie Cycle empowers people to do more than just fix bicycles. By practicing skills in a safe and inclusive environment we hope to encourage more riding, Do-It-Yourself projects and continued exploration outside of the workshop.

Community Building
You will be working together, teaching each other and learning from one another. As we discover the depth of bicycle culture, you'll find out how to connect with your local cycling community.
