Winter Bike Fest 2012 concludes this sunday, February 12th with the Winter City 30/50K Randonee ride through Anchorage.

Moscow to Mongolia: A bike in a suitcase, the trans-Siberian railroad and a 1,000 kilometer cycling adventure.

More than beautiful landscapes and intimate portraits- you will learn about adventure cycling, how to ride the Russian rails, and why you might want full suspension and a GPS in Mongolia.

In mid December, BCA was excited to see that Senator Begich’s amendment to a transportation safety bill passed unanimously through the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. The amendment encourages states and local governments to design and build roads that are safe for both motorized and non-motorized users.
