New Bike racks on 12th-Holden

Thanks to the efforts of Megan Thorberg, there are now bike racks on the corner of 12th and Holden. Hopefully this will help encourage people to ride their bikes to events at HPIC. These racks belong to the city, so they can be used by anyone. They just happen to be very convenient for us!

The SDOT crew working the night of December 9th to install the racks.

If you know of a location that could use a bicycle rack, you too can do what Megan did: ask the city. For more information, click  here.
