Bike Ithaca is an informal group of people interested in getting around by non-motorized means and committed to making Ithaca more hospitable to that kind of travel. Among us are recreational cyclists, bike commuters, car-less families, and lots of people who, while remaining members of a car-dominated society, are working toward a greener vision. And, of course, people whose way of decreasing dependence on motor vehicles is to walk or take the bus rather than drive.
