Cougars Cycling Club

Next Bike Ride:  

  Saturday (5/25) at noon, bike club! We'll bike in the sun and laugh as we drink lemonade. But remember: first rule of bike club, don't talk about bike club.

If this is your first time, you need to sign a waiver. Get one from Mr. Lueken or email adam.lueken@d128.org.  See you all there!

(If you need a bike or if yours needs fixed up before the ride,

contact Mr. Lueken. Adam.Lueken@d128.org.)

Last year we had a blast with biking to the lake, biking to the bagel shop, biking to LHS, biking around VHHS, and biking all over Vernon Hills! This year (2012/2013) we hope to expand our biking and expand our group! Everyone is welcome, no bike necessary. If you do not have a bike, we have a couple extra that you can borrow, but reservations are first come, first serve. If you have a bike, but need help making it work well, all students get free lessons on how to repair your own bike (for free)!
