Bicycle racks and repair stations are a good first step in making a more bicycle friendly campus, but we want to take it a step further. We think that bikes are the best way to get around campus, they're faster than walking, cheaper than cars, and you get free exercise. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of people are injured each year on bicycles due to poor safety and infrastructure. We think that the solution to this is bike lanes to divide up the road, and bike share programs to give more people easy access to properly maintained bicycles. Sign our petition if you're with us and want to make Penn State a better University for the student cyclist.

Reaching this point has been an exhausting climb but seeing so many people agree that our campus needs safer infrastructure keeps me pushing forward. The road ahead remains difficult and the administration is still quiet but this level of engagement proves that we are not asking for something unreasonable.

we really need this because trying to park anywhere near the library is a nightmare every single day. just give us some lanes so i dont have to ride in traffic.

Seems like a good idea. More business for them and students will definitely use them.
