Bikes

Biking is a fun, clean and easy way to get around campus as well as the city of 糖心Vlog破解版 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.

Electric Bikes

Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are considered the same classification as traditional bicycles, so riders can take them most places a regular bike can ride, including on campus, roadways and on bike trails. Same as regular bike riders, e-bike riders must dismount in all campus dismount zones.

E-bikes have many benefits for a wide range of commuters. They are user-friendly and handle nearly identically to a traditional bike while allowing for an easy, quick ride. These are perfect for individuals who may have longer commutes and want to get around with the ease of a bike but without the extra cardiovascular effort. They make pedaling up hills and inclines a breeze. E-bikes may also be great alternatives for individuals with mobility issues that prevent them from using traditional bikes.
