Bike to Work Day is Tomorrow, May 18!!!

Start your day with a proper biker breakfast.  Join Mayor Durel, who will ride from his home to Another Broken Egg in River Ranch, for breakfast with area cyclists between 7 & 8 a.m.  This is a great opportunity for him to hear from you, the cycling community, about what is needed/desired from local government relative to bicycles. Immediately following breakfast, join Bike Lafayette's "Commuter Convoy" biking to work along secondary streets from the Fresh Market parking lot in River Ranch to downtown, ULL, and Oil Center workplaces and others along the way.  KATC will be there and the bigger the crowd, the better. All of this is, of course, open to the public, so please spread the word.

Ride for Rox date in today's Independent is wrong

The correct date for the Ride for Rox is 5/26/12, NOT 5/19 as listed in today's print version of the Independent. Please come NEXT Saturday, May 26 and disregard the Ind error.

Ride of Silence Tonight

Don't forget the Ride of Silence. We'll meet at Parc Sans Souci tonight at 6:00 PM and take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves. The ride is free and we ask cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride.

Ride for Rox Rescheduled to 5/26

Due to weather, the Ride for Rox has been rescheduled to Saturday, May 26, 2012.  Except for the date, all event details remain the same.  We hope you can join us then!

8 mile route option added to Ride for Rox

By popular demand, an 8 mile ride option has just been added to the Ride for Rox this Saturday.  The 8 mile ride will leave Acadiana Park at 10 a.m.  Spread the word to those who would like to support the cause without riding 25 or more miles!

Bike Month Proclamation

At Monday night's City Council meeting, Mayor Joey Durel declared May Bike Month in Lafayette, as well as May 14-18 as Bike to Work Week and May 18 as Bike to Work Day.  Several cyclists showed up in support.  Check out our photo op!
