Bicycle 101 - repair, riding, resources and potluck
Bradley Street Bicycle Co-op
The Bradley Street Bicycle Co-op is a community bike shop working towards an equitable New Haven by getting people on bikes.
CT Rides
At CTrides, a service of the Connecticut Department of Transportation, we help Connecticut employers and employees seamlessly reap the financial, environmental, and productivity benefits of reducing single-rider commuting. By promoting public transit, teleworking, and carpooling, we can help cut down on congestion, improve air quality, and make Connecticut a healthier place to live and work.
New Haven Coalition for Active Transportation
New Haven Coalition for Active Transportation (NCAT) promotes walking, biking, and all active forms of transportation as healthy, safe, and environmentally friendly.
MakeHaven Patio
A large ground level outdoor stone patio space that can be accessed out the back doors of the 770 Chapel Street building or by entering the courtyard from around 71 Orange Street.
This is a fun casual gathering of people enthusiastic or interested in learning how to better use their bike. We will have speakers, give repair tips and have a potluck.
We encourage you ride your bike to the event!
