Tuesday Night Bike Ride tonight!
Just a reminder. Bring your coolest bike, a good attitude, and enjoy the coolest ride in the coolest weather we’ve had in awhile. There were 250 riders last week including the two pictured above!
The ride meets at the flagpole at Old Main: go to Park and University and go one block east into [...]
Your new cargo bike
Here are some of the BICAS employees showing off your new cargo bike, the one you are going to win, um, maybe, if you buy a six-dollar raffle ticket from any BICAS employee or from me.

Our own Tuesday Night Bike Ride had 215 riders this week, or about [...]
