Signature Cycles to Host Women’s Cycling Networking Night on April 4
What should I eat before a ride? Why does my saddle hurt? I think I want to race but how do I get started? Cycling can be an intimidating activity for many women, but Signature Cycles, a local bike studio located at 14 Railroad Avenue, Greenwich, CT will provide answers these and many other questions during its special women’s-only “Ladies Night: Women in the Know” information panel and networking event on April 4 at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Women of all levels of experience and abilities are invited to attend the event. Topics will include women’s health, injury prevention, gear, competitive racing, and more.
ONS sports medicine physician, Gloria Cohen, MD has been invited to participate on the panel. Dr. Cohen is a specialist in non-operative sports medicine.

She served as team physician to the Canadian National Olympic Cycling Team for 14 years and was a member of the Canadian Medical Team for the Olympic Games in Seoul, Atlanta, and Sydney.
