A whistle on a rooftop started a mass of bicyclists on a 10-mile journey through Lubbock’s Tech Terrace neighborhood Saturday.

Tour de Tech Terrace, a Texas Tech tradition, brought nearly 500 cyclists to the corner of 30th Street and Hartford Avenue, the first of 10 stops at 10 backyards along the 10-mile route. At each stop, participants opened up their backyards for the group to stop and socialize along the route.

Students open small businesses, enjoy fruits of self-sufficiency
Mia Walters

Many students attend college with hopes of learning how to own and manage a business, but some undergraduates get a head start by opening their own businesses to pay for their education.

Something Texas Tech student, Clinton Williams, Tech graduate Jared Dunn and South Plains College student, Hunter Hutchins, have in common is they all purchased and run their own businesses.

Their businesses are doing well enough that the income supports Williams and Hutchins entirely, including paying for their tuition.

Williams, a mechanical engineering major from Panhandle, is the owner of Broadway Bikes, a bicycle and repair shop that has been open for 30 years. Williams purchased it in December 2006.
