Hi all,

Two items for the group concerning bicycling at Mason.

A Safe Bicycle Commuting Brown Bag Seminar is scheduled for Thursday, April 14, from 12pm-1pm at the RAC. Instructor is Bruce Wright, chairman of Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling and certified League of American Bicyclists instructor. Great class for people who are thinking about commuting by bike but would like more information. To register visit http://hr.gmu.edu/learning/.

The annual Bike to Mason Day event is scheduled for Thursday April 21. To get more details visit the Mason Transportation website.

Best Regards
