Bikes

Biking is a fun, cleanand easy way to get around campus as well as the city of Boulder and beyond.

Biking as a primary form of transportation helps reduce our negative impact on the environment, is an excellent form of exercise, and could save money that would otherwise be spent on gas and parking.
