Robert Erickson, also known as Biking Bob, stopped for a brief reception on Tuesday, Aug. 23 at Lake Superior College. He rode from Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College and left LSC to continue to Two Harbors for an overnight stop. Biking Bob is on a 2,300-mile state bicycle tour to raise money and public support for part-time students.
Erickson is the chair of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Foundation.

During his 30-day trek, Erickson will tour all 53 campuses in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. He is funding the trip at his own expense. To date, Erickson has raised more than $255,000 over four years. He accepted a $2,000 check from LSC for the Trustee Erickson Part-time Student Scholarship Fund.
