New at Graco Park: Bike Maintenance Workshops with Bjorn Cycling

The Minneapolis Park and Rec Board welcomes Bjorn Cycling to Graco Park for a series of hands-on bike maintenance classes that are equal parts practical, empowering and fun.

Bjorn Cycling founder Erik has been teaching bike skills since the late 90s, and he breaks things down in a way that makes sense. Whether you're brand new to cycling or have been riding for years, you’ll leave feeling more confident and capable.

What you’ll get out of it:
