Weekly Update: Bike week, busy week
Associated Project(s):All, Another busy week with the fun addition of Bike To Work Day and Light The Night. Haven’t seen the numbers yet but both events went well, I believe. Friday was surprisingly slow here, which was great since I had staff out sick. We had a BTWD participant follow up and volunteer with us on Friday, which was great.
With the previously mentioned events out of the way, it’s on to prep for the abandoned bikes being released to us soon. Space is at a premium, so we’ll have to get creative and/or judicial in the bikes we utilize. Hope to get a few more bikes on the sales floor. We also already have one bike ready to go for our Kids Bike Giveaway.
The numbers:
Visitors: 103
Sales: $1,230
Bikes (B-a-B): 3 for $150
Memberships: 19 for $570
Tires/tubes: 25 for $187Thanks!

Facilities & Services impounded 262 abandoned bicycles on campus this summer.

Bike registration information or other documentation will be needed to prove ownership (e.g., pictures). Retrieving a bicycle will require an active bike registration per the University Bicycle Ordinance. There is also a $40 retrieval fee that supports bike collection efforts.
