- F.I.V. Edoardo Bianchi S.p.A (pronounced bee-AHN-kee in Italian) is the world’s oldest bicycle-making company still in existence, having pioneered the use of equal-sized wheels with pneumatic rubber tires in 1885. It was founded in Italy in 1885.
- Bianchi was an Italian professional cycling team that was sponsored by and cycled on Bianchi racing bikes. A Bianchi cycling team existed in 1899 which implies that Bianchi was sponsoring professional cycling at a very early stage in the sport.
- Bianchi is a town and comune in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy. It has a population of 1,543 (M 771; F 772), and its patron saint is San Giacomo. The current mayor of Bianchi is Francesco Villella.

Lynx tracks found in NH
Route 2 Crossing Study
Lynx tracks spotted by wildlife experts
By Edith Tucker
JEFFERSON — Fresh lynx tracks were spotted on Saturday morning by professional trackers participating in a wildlife crossing field study on both sides of the Route 2 corridor in Jefferson and Randolph, according to project leader Sarah Barnum Ph.D., vice president for conservation at the New Hampshire Audubon Society.
“The lynx was headed north and crossed sometime during Friday night — the tracks were very fresh on Saturday when they found them,” Dr. Barnum reported.
Dr. Barnum expressed the team’s feelings, “We’re tickled pink!”
The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) is a federally endangered species in the lower 48 states.
On Saturday the two field staff members took the opportunity, Dr. Barnum said, to trail the animal some distance in both directions and recorded the trail with a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit.
“Mark Elbroch, the lead tracker, is highly skilled, with extensive experience, and he took some wonderful pictures,” she said. “There is absolutely no question as to the identification of these tracks.” In his professional opinion, Dr. Barnum said, the cat was just passing through; it did not appear to stop and hunt and was traveling in a pretty straight line. Mr. Elbroch is being assisted by Rose Graves.
Saturday was a warm day, with temperatures rising into the 40s in a winter that has generally has had limited snow cover.
Although the field study started about two months ago at the beginning of December and so far has produced a lot of “good stuff,” including over 3,000 crossings, this is their best find yet, Dr. Barnum explained.
The tracking team has spotted tracks of many moose, coyote, deer, red fox, grey fox, fisher, and a few bobcat and otters, she said.
She said that the state Fish and Game Department has been informed, and the Lancaster field office updated, so that the local conservation officers are aware of the tracks.
Both the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the U. S. Forest Service in the White Mountain National Forest have also been informed.
The wildlife crossing study is a collaborative effort that is jointly funded by the N. H. Fish and Game Department and the Merck Family Fund and to a lesser extent by the state Department of Transportation. Work will continue through June in order to pick up bear tracks as they come out of hibernation.
Dr. Barnum earned a B.S. in Wildlife Biology at the University of Vermont at Burlington, a Master of Science in Wildlife Biology at Utah State University at Logan, and her Ph.D. in Design and Planning at the University of Colorado at Denver.
Prof. Willem van Vliet supervised the research for Dr. Barnum’s dissertation — “Using Information About Wildlife Crossing to Reduce Wildlife/Highway Conflicts.”
