A cha-ta-what?
(pronounced /ʃəˈtɔːkwə/)
The chautauqua gathering was very hip in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Chautauqua assemblies expanded and spread throughout rural America until the mid-1920s. The Chautauqua brought entertainment and culture for the whole community, with speakers, teachers, musicians, entertainers, preachers and specialists of the day.
Theodore Roosevelt once said a Chautauqua is
"the most American thing in America."
"the most American thing in America."
We think the chautauqua atmosphere is the most bikey
enviroment for bikes in Chico.

We are also creating a Flicker pool known as the "Cycling Chautauqua Carousel." We invite your group to publish photos that best represent your flavor of cycling culture. Just search for the group name in Flicker, join on, and post wildly.
We will be featuring a sideshow on stage comprised of this and other photo streams from Chico bike culture, so please jump in!
