Hello!

My wife is selling her bike! Its a great bike...unfortunatly, she just dosent use it anymore. The bike's brand is MOTIV and it is in great shape with very high quality Shimano gear components. It is an 18 speed, and has a few years under her belt, but like i said, it just hasnt been used very much. Let me know if you would like to see it in person and I also have pictures. 503.502.7525

Also, my brother is a bike shop tech and he is will be giving it a nice tune up prior to selling! So it will be in perfect shape for some great bike rides! :)

LI801-ITC & Newsletters in Cycling

“I need information”

One item, many cyclesDifferent organizations produce newsletters

in the bicycling community

Newsletters are created and then travel through the different phases of the Information Transfer Cycle

A Do-It-Yourself approach is used to get the word out more than using the libraries (subject to change, of course)

Newsletters for Cyclists

Much if not all of the information created is disseminated directly from the creators to the users for utilization and diffusion

Wheels keep turningChanges in information organization in Portland's bicycling groups may spur the need for information professionals in the local libraries to revise or add to their existing information services, which currently consists of only materials in their general collections, and web links to bicycling associations.
