A Message from the Club Co-presidents
Welcome to the Aerospace Employees Association Bicycling / Bike Commuter Club.
This is your club and it is as active as its volunteers.
In addition to representing the interests of bicycle commuters at Aerospace,
we also offer a range of recreation activities and services for riders.
If there is something you would like to see us offer,
volunteer to organize it!
A more active club is a more active club.
Nothing in life comes free,
but the club membership benefits are a real deal at just $8 or $11 per year.
Members in good standing may use the club equipment
and are eligible for their own bike locker
at one of several convenient locations.
Membership dues cover the calendar year and are payable each January.
Download and fill out the membership
form,
then send the form and a check for the dues to the club treasurer,
Peggy Tsunoda.
The more dues-paying members we have,
the larger the subsidy we receive from the Aerospace Employees Association.
While we are on that subject,
the more people who bike commute to work and sign in to prove it,
the more clout we have with Commuter Services.
Grace Peng and Mark Polak, Co-Presidents,
AEA Cycling / Bike Commuter Club, 2001

Let us keep our year-long winning streak going!
