Chuck Ayers, Cascade Bicycle Club

The executive director of the nation’s largest “local” bicycle club is stepping down after more than 15 years at the helm.

Chuck Ayers made the announcement on Thursday at the Cascade Bicycle Club’s website.

Citing the achievements of reaching 15,000 members, selling out many annual rides months in advance, and successful lobbying on many issues …

Seattle Bicycle Expo ends Sunday with bike stunts and advocacy

Ryan Leech draws a crowd Saturday at Seattle Bicycle expo

If you chose to ride your bike on Saturday instead of going to the Seattle Bicycle Expo — and who could blame you considering the nice weather — well, there’s always Sunday.

This is one of the first times that I can remember showing up to the Smith Cove Terminal 91 expo site without full-on …

Cascade Bicycle Club members can register for 2013 bike rides today

If you’re a member in good-standing with the Cascade Bicycle Club, then you can jump into online registration this morning (Tuesday) beginning at 10 a.m.

Simply log into Cascade Bicycle Club rides for 2013 and check your preferences for the upcoming rides. If you haven’t signed in previously, you’ll need an account.

Registration for the general public opens at 10 a.m. Feb. 5.

Unlike last year’s inauguration of the World Bicycle Relief Red-Bell 100, there don’t appear to be any new rides scheduled for 2013 that require prior registration (the Seattle Brews Cruise has a later registration date). And all the old favorites ….

I wasn’t disappointed on Sunday as I joined more than a thousand other Seattle-area cyclists for a ferry ride to Kingston for the 19th annual Kitsap Color Classic presented by Cascade Bicycle Club.
This is the club’s last big ride of the year, and on Sunday the scene at the ferry dock in Edmonds resembled the club’s first ride of the year — the Chilly Hilly. The only difference was that the sun shone brilliantly …

Raise money for Cascade by riding your bike: CLIF-Bar Challenge

Here’s something I wish I had acted on earlier.

The Cascade Bicycle Club Education Foundation is the beneficiary of the CLIF Bar 2-mile Challenge in September. That means the foundation’s operations can receive up to $10,000 from CLIF Bar by the end of the month.

The exact amount depends on how many bicycle trips are logged at the CLIF Bar 2-mile Challenge website. For every trip, Cascade’s education foundation receives $1. Unfortunately, the tally doesn’t start until you sign up at the 2-mile Challenge website and start logging your rides…..
