Past Offerings


Community Bikes Open House (August 2011)

Charlottesville Community Bikes held an open house to introduce students and staff to the shop and volunteer opportunities available.

Safe Cycling (August 2011)

C'ville Bike & Tri's John Lawler led a bike safety to teach students about the rules of the road, the proper gear cyclists should have, and tips to get around Grounds safely.

Basics of Bike Maintenance (August 2011)

Blue Wheel Bicycles staff taught participants basic bike maintenance skills like changing tires and adjusting brakes.

Public Participation Forum on Transportation Issues (Summer 2011)

The CHART Committee, with assistance from Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) staff, facilitated a Public Participation Forum in which attendees were informed of major transportation issues in our region. This included discussion of transportation policy planning, transportation funding and transportation projects.

Attendees were then able to share their views on transportation issues through a quick survey that was entered into a public participation database, which will be reviewed by the MPO Policy Board.

Bike Commuting 101 (Bike Week 2011, August 2011)

Want to save on gas money? Interested in incorporating more exercise into your daily routine? Want to enjoy the commute to work more? Consider bike commuting. Think you can’t do it because you live too far away, need to run errands at lunch, or are nervous about riding in traffic? This workshop was open to anyone interested in learning the “how-to’s of bike commuting”.

Vanpooling 101 (Spring 2011)

Vanpools are groups of 5 to 15 people who commute together on a regular basis in a roomy, comfortable full-size van or minivan. Because each vanpool removes as many as 14 vehicles off of the road each day, even one significantly reduces fuel consumption, traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions – and can put $1000 or more back into your pocket.

Parking and Transportation invited participants to enjoy a free "Lunch & Learn" session for commuters to learn more about the option of vanpooling.

Traffic Skills 101 (Earth Week 2011)

Community Bikes, in cooperation with University of Virginia's Parking and Transportation and Office of the Architect, taught the League of American Bicyclists Traffic Skills 101 course.

This course is designed for people seeking more confidence and better techniques for riding in traffic. The course included classroom instruction, closed course skills drills and a group ride.
