Free women’s bike posture and fit clinic at Century Cycles on February 19

MEDINA, Ohio (January 26, 2011) MEDINA, Ohio (January 26, 2011) - Century Cycles bicycle store at 1079 North Court Street in Medina is hosting a free Posture, Gearing and Bike Fit Clinic on Saturday, February 19, from 4 to 6 p.m. The special instructor for this ladies-only clinic is Jackie Baker, a pro rider and expert trainer/coach from Giant For Women.

Meet Jackie Baker and learn from the pro, including:

  • Proper riding posture on road and mountain bikes;
  • How to choose a properly-fitting bike;
  • How to fix common posture and fit problems; and
  • The gear women need to make riding their bikes more fun.

"This Giant For Women clinic is designed to be helpful for all riders -- any discipline, any bike, any
experience level," says Baker, an Ohio native who purchased her first adult bicycle from Century
Cycles in Medina over 14 years ago. She now travels the country doing women's clinics and events for
Giant Bicycles, one of the world's largest bicycle manufacturers, and is making a rare Northeast Ohio
appearance.

Refreshments will be served. Each attendee will also receive a 20% discount on any bicycle accessories,
parts or clothing purchased that evening.

This event is free, but registration is required. For more information or to register, call Century Cycles in
Medina at 330-722-7119.
