With apologies to an old riddle: What’s black and green and white (striped) all over?

Bike Bounty: Auction and 4-Day Bike Barn Sale

Bikes are special every day at �鶹��ý (well, except, perhaps, when we’re riding in the rain!), so we’re hard-pressed to think of a way to give bikes even more attention. But we’ll give it the old college try over the next week or so with the campus’s biannual Bike Auction and the ASUCD Bike Barn’s annual “yard” sale.

This year, the yard sale turns into a garage sale in the barn’s center portion, formerly used by Outdoor Adventures. The Bike Barn, which previously occupied the barn’s south end, took over the center portion last year to use as a warehouse and parts room.
