Lawrence Central Rotary Dedicates Community Bicycle Rack

It was a little gloomy October 7th in front of the Lawrence Arts Center but a big crowd came out for the dedication of the first bike rack. With the help of the City, the Lawrence Arts Center and the fabricators.

 

Mark Emge's bike rack design concept called "Arbitrary Triangulation" was inspired by the frame geometry of bicycles. In his proposal he wrote: "There seems to be something methodic and chaotic when multiple bikes are parked at a bike rack. The geometries of these bicycles create a random pattern that is unique to those bicycles and how they are parked. Each day a new series of patterns emerge. "Arbitrary Triangulation" is an interpretation of this random pattern."

 

To the left are members of the bike rack committee from the Lawrence Central Rotary, the designer, the fabricator and Carolyn Chin Lewis, Mark Emge, and the representative from the Lawrence Arts Center.

2009 Lawrence Central Rotary Annual Picnic.

 

 

Lawrence Central Rotarians, and family, gathered at the Clinton Lake Overlook picnic area Saturday, September 12th, for a few hours of fellowship. Children enjoyed the great playground equipment and nearby trails while the adults enjoyed time to relax in some wonderful Kansas weather. Ed Samp cooked up some excellent grilled and fried chicken while others brought favorite side dishes. There was not an official name for the fudge-oatmeal- carmel bars, but they were fantastic!
