Here is a google form for people to fill out for the Free or Affordable bikes. They do not need to know how to ride a bike to get a bike, as we will offer free cycling lessons with the bike. Interest in cycling lessons is documented on the form.
If they are interested in maintaining and repairing their bikes, they can book Friday or Saturday courses on this Eventbrite page.
