Purpose
The NIH R&W Bicycle Commuter Club was founded in 1980. Its purpose is to encourage commuting to NIH by bicycle and to represent the interests of bicyclists to the NIH administration.
One way in which we promote bicycle commuting and represent bike commuters is via communication. In the past, we have used hardcopy newsletters and meetings to reach our members. With the advent of electronic communication, we now rely on a listserv and this website to disseminate general information and notice of relevant area meetings, primarily Montgomery County.
The listserv can also be used for finding people for commuting, for noontime, after work, or weekend rides. The listserv is moderated and open to only NIH employees. Employees can join the listserv by going to http://www.recgov.org/cgi-bin/majordomoEU/. Enter your E-mail address, select ALL to see all the lists, then select the Bike Club and click the Apply button. To find out what's going on in the metro area, subscribe to the dc.biking newsgroup which is available at http://groups.google.com/group/dc.biking.
We hope through this web site and the listserv that you will become involved. The president of the club, Angela Atwood-Moore welcomes your input.
