    C-U Bike to Work Day
    Encourage Bicycle Use
    Light the Night

    The 2nd Annual Bike for Earth Day 🌎 event was held on Tuesday, April 21st, 2026.

    At one of our four stations, attendees were able to register their bike and grab bike swag, gear, lights, and a 25-26 Bike-to-Work Day t-shirt. They also had the opportunity to enter a raffle for a free bike helmet or u-lock.

    The four stations were located at:

    1. Alma Mater
    2. Green and Lincoln
    3. Ikenberry Commons (Bike Shelter by Flagg Hall)
    4. National Soybean Research Center (along Pennsylvania)

    Overall, nearly 200 people participated and we gave out almost 175 bike light sets! Many people liked the fix-a-flat kit, bicycle seat covers, and orange snap-bracelets.

  12. Weekly Update -- Bike Donations & Sales

    Associated Project(s): 
    Campus Bike Center

    Good news is that we’ve been getting more donations from folks that are mentioning the advertising campaign to donate before the end of the semester! Bad news is we’re getting more donations!  Jokes aside, we’ll work on processing/saving what we can from some of the older and less viable bikes. Still cranking out shop builds to keep up with demand as best we can. Staff is dwindling as their finals conclude and/or are rescheduled.

    The numbers:

    Donations: 10
    Visitors: 36
    Sales: $499.10
    Memberships: 5 for $180
    Tires/tubes 21 for $130

    Thanks!
