Bike Touring 101 with Building Momentum in Vancouver, Canada


Step 1: You know how to ride a bike.
Step 2: You love riding your bike.
Step 3: You want to go further on your bike.
Have you considered bike touring? It’s something you have always thought you might do, but eek! It’s intimidating! So many unanswered questions, and so many things to think about!
What makes a good touring bike? Can you just use your own road bike? Where do you start when it comes to choosing a location or route? What gear do you need? What are the best brands? What do you pack?! How do you make sure you’re prepared for an emergency? How do you stay safe?
You asked for this workshop and now, we’re delivering! In partnership with the biking experts at Building Momentum, this workshop will cover different packing setups, real-world tips and tricks, and a quick overview of choosing the right bike for your needs. As an in-person workshop, you will have the chance to see how bikes are packed and what you’ll need to hit the road yourself!
At Bad Academy, we pride ourselves on creating non-intimidating and safe spaces for women and gender-non-conforming people to come together to learn and, more importantly, have fun! Come expand your mind with other like-minded Baddies in a place where asking a million questions is not only welcome, but encouraged 🙂
This event is intimate with limited spots and we’ll have light snacks, beverages, and a dope DUER raffle!
