About HBA

Hawkeye Bicycle Association (HBA) was organized in 1971 as a non-profit social club to offer an opportunity for bicycle enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels to participate in group rides and social events focused on cycling.
 HBA promotes bicycling safety and advocates bicycle friendly communities, roads and trails, as well as bicyclist rights.

 HBA sponsors organized rides for members and guests.  Club rides are scheduled on Saturday and Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings from April through October.  Shorter, slower “Leisure Rides” are scheduled periodically.  One special event ride is scheduled each month from November through March.

 HBA’s annual “Swine Trek” ride is open to the public and is supported by HBA volunteers.  This ride offers four distances from ten miles to a full “Century (100 mile)” ride. 

 HBA sponsors bicycle race events from April through August each year at the Hawkeye Downs “Oval” in Cedar Rapids.

 The HBA website “http://www.hawkeyebike.com/” includes the HBA newsletter, ride schedule, director and officer listing, RAGBRAI information and links, board minutes, current events, pictures of HBA activities and more.

 HBA sponsors an annual RAGBRAI trip, including transportation from Cedar Rapids to the start, baggage transportation, overnight accommodations and transportation to Cedar Rapids from the finish.
