  • Another Great Year at the Tour of Lawrence

    We had a wonderful time staffing the kids zone @ the Tour's Sprints and Criterium over 4th of July Carolyn and Jane Staff the bouncy houseweekend were greatly appreciated again this year.
    We held off on the 4th just until the rain started and managed to get everything put away before the skies broke open.
    We also had a booth set up to sell bottles of water on the hot day as well as our swanky new RideLawrence T-shirts.
    We still have a few shirts left.  EMAIL us if you are interested.

  • 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.”
