GEARs and Eugene Bicycle Coalition have merged! This is a very exciting time for the cycling community. We have a new Pedestrian and Bicycle Strategic Plan, and we have some invigorating energy from the activists in our community to implement it. Please join the City and GEARs in this call to action. How? Come to GEARs meetings. Sign up for our Email group here.

Board meetings:
Our next meeting will be on May 13th at 6:30pm at BiMart Credit Union at 645 S. Seneca at the corner of 7th & Seneca. Everyone is welcome to attend.

We often get asked where our regular weekly rides start.
Alton Baker Park (by the duck pond) is where almost all of our rides begin. Map.
