An interesting aspect to bike riding is how a bicycle changes how the cyclist experiences his or her surroundings. In an urban area, biking can help define the relationship between cyclist and city. McKayla Dunfey ’13 is exploring this connection through her Senior Fellowship, titled “The Bicycle’s Influence: Changing Perceptions of Place and Space in Urban Environments.”

Seven members of the Hamilton College Cycling Club competed in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference’s Nittany Classic hosted by Penn State in State College, Pa., on March 31-April 1. Events included a rolling 9.5-mile team time trial and 21-mile loop road race on Saturday, as well as a criterium, or short technical loop which cyclists ride for a specific number of laps, on Sunday.
