Zero Gravity in Burlington, VTBike & Gear Repair Fair
Join Generator, Local Motion, and The Sandbox at Zero Gravity for a fun, FREE, hands-on, community powered Bike & Gear Repair Fair from 4-8pm on Tuesday, June 24th!
Have a bike that needs a little TLC, a torn jacket, broken buckle, or a pack that’s seen better days? Let us help you fix it! Throwaway culture has become widespread and repairing what you can is a powerful act of sustainability. Every patch, stitch, and fix helps keep useful gear out of the landfill. Rather than extracting additional resources to make something new, let’s focus on extracting as much life as possible from what we already have. It’s a simple shift with a big impact—and we’re here to help!

EZ Breezy back to 2000
Join us on a casual bike ride around the streets of Burlington!
Meet at 6 PM at Local Motion's Trailside Center at 1 Steele St. We'll spin around Burlington at a casual pace, so you can chat with your neighbors, dance to the music, and learn a few of our favorite tricks to ride around town. We ride as a group, no one left behind!
This month's ride corresponds perfectly with the Bike & Gear Repair Fair over at Zero Gravity. Volunteer mechanics will be on hand to help with bike repairs. Generator & the Sandbox will have sewing machines, scrap fabric, and more to help fix your gear. All for free! We'll end our ride here to join in on the fun, and maybe grab a drink and a bit to eat too.
Bring your bike, we'll bring the tunes and the volunteers to keep us all riding safe and together. This month we're jamming out to all our favorites from the Aughts and the Tens... which don't even sound like real times. But we all lived through them and now we want to re-live all of our Jonas Brothers, Fall Out Boy, Flo Rida, Mariah Carey dreams.
Interested in helping the ride roll smoothly? Sign up to volunteer!
(Volunteers hours can go towards Member Worker hours for City Market. Ride your bike and get discounted groceries!!)Friday, July 18, 2025 at 12:30 PM

Local Motion Trailside CenterKidical Mass
A Critical Mass is a form of direct action where a group of bicyclists gather and take over the roads as a call for safer streets. Now, those Critical Mass riders have grown up and had kids of their own. The Kidical Mass is the next step - a call to families to celebrate our safe routes, and show the joys of choosing active transportation!
Join Local Motion and Dad Guild for a group bike ride, walk, roll or stroll. All ages and abilities are welcome.
Route heads south to Oakledge Park, where we will stop for fun in the sun! We'll bring a little craft. BYO snack for a picnic.
Want a little more activity? Head over to Petra Cliffs! Kidical Mass participants will receive 20% off day passes.
Need a bike to participate? Discounted rentals are available through Local Motion. Contact [email protected] for details.
Please RSVP below so we know how many to expect!
Make a Kidical Mass of your own!
Host a family-friendly roll & stroll in towns across Vermont, or anywhere else in the world! We took inspiration from SunDay, a day of action on September 21, 2025, celebrating solar and wind power, and the movement to leave fossil fuels behind. Let's inspire the youngest generation to choose active transportation by showing off just how fun it can be!
Tips to create your own Kidical Mass
- Create an easy and safe route (~1-4 miles) that connects kid-friendly infrastructure such as schools, playgrounds, libraries, etc.
- Download our PDF poster template and adjust the details to match your own ride.
- Partner with local organizations/groups to create a broad reaching event
- Connect with local bike shop, if available
- Depending size of group, have a faster pace (bikes?) and slower pace (strollers? scooters?) with a common destination goal (such as a playground or park)
-
Include a small scale craft option
- Download our SunDay coloring page
- Decorate bikes, strollers, helmets with stickers and gems
- Post your event to community calendars
- Get more inspiration from the original Kidical Mass
