Welcome to the Southern Indiana Wheelmen Bicycle Club! We've been riding the beautiful roads of Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Scott and Washington Counties (to name a few) since 1975. We hope to see YOU soon!



Log your miles for "Team SIW!"

The SIW is participating in the National Bike Challenge this year and we need YOUR support!

It's easy and it's free! All you have to do is create a simple, free account and enter the miles you are already riding.

After creating an account, you can search for and then join the "Southern Indiana Wheelmen Team." From then on, you can win prizes, track your mileage and more.

The Challenge is an exciting health and wellness initiative that encourages people to bike for transportation and recreation. In 2013, the aim is to have 50,000 riders pedaling 20 million miles from May 1, 2013 until September 30, 2013. It is open and free to anyone who lives in the U.S. or works for an organization with U.S. employees.




SIW Enjoyed a Fun Picnic Ride on May 18th!

We had a wonderful turnout and a delicious meal afterwards at the Clark Forestry, just north of Henryville.

Check our some great photos taken by Stephen Thill.

Thanks to everyone who came out, brought some food to share and especially to everyone who helped with the set up and clean up afterwards. See you next year!




North Skyline Drive will be closed on Wed., May 22nd from Fariview to Von Alman to install "cross drains."

Watch out for gravel, bumps, etc. for a while - let's hope they repave it all soon as a result!




Do you know where this inviting trail is?

There is an opportunity "right in our own backyard" for a rail trail from New Albany to Clarksville. The trail would extend from Silver Street in New Albany all the way West to Clark Blvd. in Clarksville, just past I-65.

Club member Stephen Thill, who is an experienced mechanical engineer, has been meeting with local officials and assembled quite a bit information, photos, etc.

Download his May 3rd report here. (Note: This file contains color photos and several pages. It is a rather large file and may take a couple of minutes to download).
