Wednesday was Bike to Work Day in Colorado. More than 35,000 people ditched their cars for a bike, many taking advantage of the more than 200 breakfast and water stations around the metro area. Once again, the 快活app was one of the official stops for cyclists. Kaladi provided coffee; Bruegger鈥檚 brought the bagels; there were doughnut holes from Jelly; and alumni-owned Snooze provided other treats.

鈥淏ike to Work Day is a great event because it fits in with our overall transportation master plan,鈥 says Chad King,听. 鈥淲e are constantly working to do our part to reduce the campus鈥 carbon footprint, and this is a small part of our overall plan.鈥

More than 70 cyclists took advantage of the breakfast station on Carnegie Green. As a university, 快活app plans to organize additional Bike to Work Day events each month during the summer. 鈥淭here is definite interest across the campus community, so why not continue to encourage students, staff and faculty to ride their bikes to work during the summer months,鈥 says King.

快活app continues to do its part to be a bicycle-friendly university. The bike-share program just completed its second year on campus. For $25 a quarter (plus a $150 refundable deposit), students can rent a bike, helmet and U-lock. 快活app鈥檚 Center for Sustainability also does hundreds of bike tune-ups and repairs for students each year.
