Welcome
21 Years and Still Riding
Welcome to GEARs. The Greater Eugene Area Riders is a non-profit organization with the mission to promote and encourage bicycle riding for transportation and recreation. We coordinate weekly rides, provide safety and skill education, defend the rights and responsibilities of bike riders, and work to enhance the bicycle culture in Eugene and surrounding area. Membership in GEARs has its rewards! In addition to all of the rides and advocacy work we do, there are additional benefits. Local bike shops and other businesses are now offering discounts for GEARs members. Join GEARs Now.
Next Meetings:
Our next Board Meeting will be Monday, April 2, 6-8 p.m at the Keystone Cafe, 5th and Lawrence, Eugene [map]. Board Meetings will be held on the first Monday of the month at Keystone unless noted otherwise. Members and the public are encouraged to attend.

Celebrate St. Patty’s Day At Evviva
Luke DeMoe, Evviva’s manager, has invited GEARs members to an interactive evening that will be sure to make this St. Patty’s Day one of the most memorable! We are invited to learn about and take part in several activities along with soft drinks and snacks.
• Byron and Caitlin Gold will give us information on their
very popular Crossfit class
• You are invited to bring your bicycle (700c tires) and participate in a session using the Computrainer, which is computer-generated training.
• We will move over to Hutch’s to look at Retul, their Bike Fitting station.
• We will find out about CycleSole, which are form fitted insoles that are made to fit you shoe and riding style.
• Eric Taylor, Hutch’s manager, will be on hand to answer bike or accessory questions. You can make purchases using your GEARs Rewards Discount.
• Soft drinks and snacks will be served.
We are most fortunate to have this unique opportunity. Please let us know if you would like to attend and if you would like to bring your bicycle and participate in the Comnputrainer. RSVP to Garry Swanson garry@eugenegears.org or Call 541-218-5271.
