Great Outdoors x REI: Exclusive “How to Fix a Flat Tire” Workshop
REI is excited to host Great Outdoors for an exclusive hands-on workshop on fixing a flat tire! Flat tires can happen to any rider, anywhere—but with the right skills, you’ll be ready for whatever the road or trail throws your way.
Join an REI bike mechanic as we walk through step-by-step tire repair techniques, troubleshooting tips, and ways to prevent future flats. After the workshop, enjoy complimentary breakfast burritos before heading out for your next ride.
As a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and a champion of getting more people outdoors, REI is thrilled to launch this partnership with Great Outdoors—this is just the beginning!
After the workshop, we will bike up to Santa Monica Pier and back while stopping along the way for a break or two. Following the ride, we'll head over to El Toritos at Fisherman's Village for a late lunch.
We can’t wait to see you there! ✨
Distance: approximately 11 (leisurely) miles.
