  • Lawrence Central Rotary Facilitates New Bike Rack for the Lawrence Farmer’s Market!

    Lawrence Central Rotary (LCR) is proud to announce a service Bike Rack at the Lawrence Farmer's Markerproject that will install a new bicycle rack at the Saturday Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market located in the 800 block of New Hampshire.

     LCR has chosen ‘Community Bicycling’ as a common theme for its service projects.  The bike rack is of tubular construction and spells out “Ride Lawrence”  designed by local artist Sean McCue.  Sean entered the his design into last year’s bicycle rack design contest to install a bike rack outside the Lawrence Arts Center.

    “Although Sean’s design was not chosen for the Lawrence Arts Center rack we felt he had a great design that we wanted to incorporate into the overall biking theme for the Lawrence community,” said Scott Wagner who is the chair of the bike rack committee.  “It also sparked the imagination of the club members to rally around the project by incorporating “Ride Lawrence” as the overall theme for this community initiative.”

  • Lawrence Central Rotary Dedicates Community Bicycle Rack

    It was a little gloomy October 7th in front of the Lawrence Arts Center but a big crowd came out for the dedication of the first bike rack. With the help of the City, the Lawrence Arts Center and the fabricators.
     
    Mark Emge's bike rack design concept called "Arbitrary Triangulation" was inspired by the frame geometry of bicycles. In his proposal he wrote: "There seems to be something methodic and chaotic when multiple bikes are parked at a bike rack. The geometries of these bicycles create a random pattern that is unique to those bicycles and how they are parked. Each day a new series of patterns emerge. "Arbitrary Triangulation" is an interpretation of this random pattern."
