P3 Community Ride
Pizza, pedal, professors is designed to empower the Twin Cities communities we serve to engage with bicycles at a level the neighborhoods want. To achieve this, we are offer a tiered educational approach. Our first tier of this approach is our P3 Ride.
Come Ride With Us!
We seek to increase consistency and quality in the knowledge learned in programs that offer free bicycle mechanic classes to the community by creating a model that not only boost knowledge but equips them with the tools to enter the industry.
During these classes, we will listen to other needs around bicycle education, or interest among the participants to learn more in depth mechanic skills and offer continued education to those interested.
These classes will offer general safety and mechanic information with the goal of empowering the folks that participate to feel confident fixing minor things on their bicycles, as well as feeling more confident while riding.
