CU Boulder Bike News - May 2021

Two bicyclists riding along a Buff Bike Classic route.

May the 4th...be with you. Sometimes, I wish I were a Star Wars geek (or at least more knowledgeable). The month of May is filled with some great celebrations and events, including National Bike Month, Cinco De Mayo, Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and, for many of us, the start of summer break. Do you guys have any summer plans? I might take a dive into the Star Wars universe. Whatever your plans are, I hope it involves bikes!

In this edition of the newsletter, we look forward to the Buffalo Bike Classic, Bike Mechanics 101, bike donations, a summer job opportunity, and electric bicycles. Enjoy!
