We are a group of people who like to ride our bikes for transportation, not just recreation. Our goals are to build community and promote the use of bicycles as transportation. We meet monthly to socialize and discuss topics of interest, and we also conduct regular monthly seminars in Beginning Commuting and Traffic Safety. Our group includes both veteran and beginning bike commuters, and we welcome you regardless of which you are, or even (especially) if you are just thinking about it. Please join us!
