Oak Cliff Bicycle Co. offers a free bike maintenance class Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Learn how to change a flat tire and some basics of bicycle maintenance.

Saturday, Oct. 29, is the last day of Cyclesomatic, and there is a cyclocross race at Rosemont Elementary School. Cyclocross is a cross between a road bike race, a mountain bike race and idiotarod. It starts at 10 a.m., and this one has a Halloween theme, so they’re calling it “Spooky Cross.” There are free races for children and first-timers at 1:15 p.m. Show up to race or just to jeer the competitors. It’s a good time.
