__Bikes and Bike Racks __ By Jeannette Baneck

 Did you notice the hole in the ground in front of school? The one with caution tape around the four posts? UW-Manitowoc is going to be getting a new bike rack. According to Chris Beloin, advisor to the Bike Club on campus, a majority of the money for the new bike rack came from the Student Senate, but the Bike Club helped with a fundraiser. The new bike rack, purchased through Broken Spoke of Manitowoc, will replace the current bike rack which has caused some problems with bike spokes breaking.

UW-Manitowoc's Bike Club is a group of students who get together to promote bike riding, bike maintenance, bike safety, and bike stores. According to Chris Beloin, the advisor of the club, there are thirteen students interested in the Bike Club this semester. A guest speaker has come in to talk about what they can do to promote biking. The bike club has an introduction to bikes which gives some things about buying bikes such as where you can go to get bikes. The students can learn about the different styles of riding. The Bike Club will do bike tune-ups including a safety check of the bike, a check of integrity of tires, lubrication of key parts, a run through of the gears, and basic adjustments, such as brakes.

 According to Bike Club Advisor Chris Beloin, the bike rack should be completed in October.
