Bicycle clubs nurture novice cyclists

Rebecca Clancy, a TribLocal columnist and member of the Elmhurst Bicycle Club, offers an enthusiastic assessment of the club and its members.

/Whether you are brand new to cycling or reviving a past interest, bicycle clubs can get you started with rides and activities geared for beginners.

In addition to the Elmhurst club, there are friendly, supportive clubs throughout the western suburbs. Check out groups in Carol Stream, Downers Grove, Glen Ellyn, Naperville, Oak Park, Wheaton, and the Fox Valley, and get cycling!
