Convenience and flexibility. Ravin, Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ student and one millionth B-Cycle rider, cited these factors in explaining why he uses the bike share program frequently. As the one millionth B-Cycle rider, Ravin received a prize package prepared by Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ's Environmental Center. The package included fun items like Pit Viper shades, a Mountain Smith soft-sided cooler, a bike shaped pizza cutter, and more. Next up: two million rides!

Because bike mechanics work outdoors with their hands, cold weather makes it difficult to provide quality service. As such, campus bike stations are often closed during the winter. Please check the ECenter’s website for daily updates on bike station status.

BCycle ridership is going through the roof! Did you know that the number of trips taken on BCycle bikes between the start of school (Aug 18th) and the 1st day of October has tripled year over year since 2019?! In 2019, ~3,500 riders took 23,218 trips. This year, in large part due to Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ student ridership, the number of trips have jumped to 68,292 by more than 9,800 riders.
