   Last year we had a blast with biking to the lake, biking to the bagel shop, biking to LHS, biking around VHHS, and biking all over Vernon Hills!  This year (2011/2012) we hope to expand our biking and expand our group!  Everyone is welcome, no bike necessary.  If you do not have a bike, we have a couple extra that you can borrow, but reservations are first come, first serve.  If you have a bike, but need help making it work well, all students get free lessons on how to repair your own bike (for free)!
