Lansing area cycling news  After posting about Champion Cycling's lack of a Web site, I remembered that a small shop that I visited in Michigan, Denny's Cycling and Fitness, was also siteless. To see if they had created a site since last summer, I googled the name. Alas, still no site. However, in the process I learned a lot about cycling in the Lansing/East Lansing, Michigan area.

Conditions there can be brutal for several months a year. There's a very ative cycling club at the University (my alma mater), the Tri-County Bicycle Association (with whom I took my first group ride back in 1972), the Bike Project that reconditions old bikes and gives or loans them to university students and faculty, and Smart Commute, a volunteer group that promotes "Smart Commute ’05, a week-long campaign to help people who live or
work in the Capital area explore bicycling, bus-riding, carpooling, and
walking as safe and convenient transportation options." Maybe there's hope for us after all...
