QCAS is dedicated to the enjoyment of birds.
Field Trips are the primary means by which we go about the enjoyment of birds.
QCAS has at least one field trip – a visit to a local habitat for the purpose of observing nature – every month.
While our focus is usually on birds, we observe all aspects of nature, and we occasionally schedule a trip primarily on plant life.
The QCBC schedules rides throughout the year for riders of all capabilities and ages.
It is the mission of the Quad Cities Bicycle Club to promote, encourage, and support the safe participation in bicycle riding of all ages and abilities, as well as to anticipate and address needs and interests of all aspects of bicycling in the Quad Cities area.
