The purpose of this project is to provide a free method of transportation for Eastern Michigan University students and faculty by means of using recycled bicycles.
Goals:
a. To determine the desirability of a Green Bike program around campus
b. To provide an environmentally friendly method of transportation
c. To acquire a bicycle facility located on campus for the purpose of rentals and maintenance.
d. To increase the physical well being of students and faculty who partake in the program
e. To decrease vehicle emissions and traffic around campus
f. To encourage bike tours and comaraderie.
I was just walking across the quad and realized how many people are actually talking about this bike idea now which is honestly wild because it started as just a thought about how much I hate searching for parking spots. I have been spending my nights trying to figure out where we could even put a bike shed since space on campus is always such a mess but the momentum feels real.

I was looking at the screen and realized how much this has grown since I first started scribbling down ideas about recycled bikes in my notebook. It is wild to think that this actually resonates with so many other people around campus because honestly I was worried I was just shouting into the void about tire maintenance and bike racks.
