Welcome!
On behalf of the entire Lehigh Cycling team, I would like to thank you for coming to check out Lehigh Cycling, and considering joining the Lehigh Cycling family. We sincerely look forward to meeting you and telling you more about the club.
First things first, if you have any questions at all, please email either myself of Brandon Onopa, formally known as other Brandon. We would be happy to address anything you want to know. But first read below.

First Things First: Bring your bike no matter what!
The most common mistake made by freshmen is not bringing their bike and not having it for the first rides, whatever they are. Don't worry about having a place to put it, myself and Brandon will be on campus long before you all, and will be able to get your bikes as soon as you move in and bring them to the team's designated bike shed.
So, now what?
So you have a bike on campus, what are you expecting to do with it? That is completely up to you. Lehigh Cycling will be featuring three different riding styles this year (more on this later). It can be as relaxed as you want. Whether you like riding slow, fast, through trees, on gravel paths, or on paved roads, you can be sure to find a group who likes your style. Oh, and we get free (or heavily discounted) stuff.
What is Club Sports?
It is the level of competition between Intramural and Lehigh Varsity. Think high school varsity, but completely optional. It is as serious as you want it to be, no pressure to do anything, and a great way to get involved. Cycling is a little different though, since there is no Varsity Cycling Team at Lehigh. The best of the best ride with us. That being said, don't be intimidated; we have all levels of abilities in all disciplines.
What do I want to ride?
There are three main categories of riding:
Road: Skinny tires, light bikes, no suspension, high speeds, pavement, loads of fun and the best cardio workout ever... This is the only time you will be able to whiz at over 20 mph under your own power.
Mountain: XC, DH, STXC, CycloCross. Fast between trees, jumps, cliffs... however big you want to go, we accommodate (neither confirming or denying that the edit is through Leigh's campus) Plus Lehigh has its own large network of mountain biking trails.
Recreation: Looking to get in shape or just something to do, do it with friends. Ride bikes down paths, through town, whatever goes. Mellow paces, food stops encouraged. Any bike goes. Childish behavior recommended.
I don't have a bike, but want to!
It is certainly an investment, but also one of the best decisions you can ever make. Whether you want an entry level or serious bike of any kind... Email us whenever. We will help you out in making your decision. If you (or parents) need any convincing to spend your (their) dollars on your bike, we also do that.
How do I Club Sports?
Look for us at the club fair, we'll be the ones with bikes!
