The Great Plains Bicycling Club is Lincoln, Nebraska's recreational bicycling club. We organize rides in and around Lincoln, promote cycling and bicycle safety, publish a newsletter, and much more. We welcome all recreational riders to join us on our rides and in our other activities.
We want this to be a website that people in Lincoln and Nebraska can rely upon for information about recreational cycling. We want to know of any Nebraska-area rides that aren't in our listings. If you are aware of a recreational ride that is not listed, please contact the webmaster and provide a description and other details.
Ride of Silence in Lincoln, Wednesday, May 16 2012
On May 16, 2012, 37 Lincoln riders joined cyclists around the world in the Ride of Silence to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves. Camera crews from TV channels 8 and 10/11 in Lincoln were at the start and filmed an interview with club president Bob Boyce about the purpose of the ride.
