Rental Bench - Sunday 2 to 4

Rental Bench will be this Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00.

What is rental bench? For $5 an hour you can use the bike library's tools, books, and equipment to tune up or repair your bike. Rental bench is free for Environmental Advocates, Bicyclists of Iowa City, or Bike Library volunteers.

One caveat: volunteers on hand may or may not help you with your wrenching, so the risk is yours!

Local boy does good

Jason McCartney once again shows style and grace on a bicycle in this New York Times article. Yeah, sure, he can race with best, but he can also commute with the average.

(And, to me, the average is far more exciting!)
