As the club celebrates its 50^th year, we are continuing a look at bicycling over the years with a program on the History of Bicycling in Elgin. Did you know that Elgin was once the home to four bicycle factories? Learn more about this interesting piece of area history. Included will be comments on bicycle races held in Elgin which has attracted international racers over challenging courses on city streets. 

Guest speaker will be Tom Armstrong, member of Elgin’s BPAC (Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee). He will also have information on recommended bicycle routes in Elgin and events held during the annual June Bike-Walk-Move Week.
