Do you love efficient human transportation? Do you love the feeling of the wind on your face as you zoom down a giant hill? Then you should join Talawanda’s Cycling Club! We’ll be going on group rides around Oxford, learning some proper bike safety for road rides, and doing many fun cycling based activities, possibly even learning to unicycle! It’s a great way to stay active while seeing Oxford in a entirely new, exciting way. Come stop by Mrs. Schrans’s room 216 after school today.
