High School starts cycling club
With obesity on the rise and many teens opting to veg-out on the couch and play militarized video games, one high school is encouraging fitness through bike riding. LaGuardia High School is forming a cycling club. Liam P. Quigley contacted me to let everyone know about their website Lagca.com
He writes: “Hi. I currently attend Laguardia High School for music and arts in Manhattan. Just recently we got a cycling association started. We are planning to do rides, not only fun rides, but competition riding soon enough (A High School Cycling Team).
As far as I know we are the first official High School Cycling Association in the city, and it would be great if you could put a link to our website on your website.
The Website is http://lagca.com - Might serve is an inspiration for other schools to get Bike clubs started, considering the puny number of students who bike to school nowadays.
Thanks, - Liam P. Quigley”

There was a cycling club at Humanities in '89. Also at the same time there was the Cyclopaths (or something) at Stuy. Interestingly, at that time there was also a bike messenger and track bike craze.

Hey!
I am trying to start a cycling club at my high school, but was recently denied by the principal because of liability issues. Has anyone else come across this issue and if so do you have any suggestions on how I should proceed?
Thanks!
