Clinics & Workshops

In clinics we simply sit and talk about cycling. This allows us to discuss a variety of topics that support a central theme.

In workshops, we talk first, then go to work with some physical activity related to the topic.

Check out the list of clinics coming up - and check back in the future for more opportunities to learn about cycling.

ALL clinics, unless otherwise noted, are held at our Bikin' Blast Training Center in Plano:

617 18th Street

Suite 103

Plano, TX 75074
