Hop aboard

Here at CN&R, we know we’re not the only Chicoans who love bicycles.

Whether valued as transportation, sport or hobby, bikes in these parts are a big deal. That’s why we created our annual Bike Issue—to give readers the scoop on life on two wheels.

This year, we have news related to the city’s growing bike infrastructure—specifically, progress on the Highway 99 Bikeway, along with another big development that will up Chico’s reputation as a bike-friendly community.

Plus, you’ll meet a couple of youth BMX racers; get an update on changes at local bike shops; learn about a program that helps people get job skills working with bikes; and much, much more.

Enjoy the ride!
