New! Campus-biking-archives!

Thanks to the generosity of one of our founders, Tim Ledlie (founding manager of Harvard Quad Bikes, one of the early university-owned bike shops in the USA), he has created a new Google group, the Campus-Biking-Archive: https://groups.google.com/g/campus-biking-archive

Here is a description of the group:

This is an archive of conversations over the campus-biking@lists.wisc.edu which existed from 2008 to 2020. This archive contains a selection of the ~1300 threads from that list that had 4 or more responses.

This new Google group is meant as an archive that can be searched by campus bike programmers who want to see what was previously discussed on a topic.  No one can post new messages to the group, and there should never be anything to update with it.

The group content is only available to members of campus-bike-programmers-network@googlegroups.com who’ve been granted access to it and not to members of campus-biking@googlegroups.com (that is, no vendors are going to be given access). Members of the campus-bike-programmers-network@googlegroups.com should now be able to go to https://groups.google.com/g/campus-biking-archive and search the archives.

Some updates to our website (which Tim also kindly updated and hosts since its inception) https://www.universitybikeprograms.org:

– removed the menu link to “FAQ / Best Practices”, since the campus-biking-archive google group is replacing that

– updated the Resources page – update the Email List / Contact page to add information about the new campus-biking-archive and remove information about the old wisc list archive

Onward forward!
