If you鈥檙e rushing to a class or meeting, the trek across 妖姬直播 State鈥檚 866-acre campus can be daunting. An expansion to the campus bike-share program, Flashfleet, provides a quick alternative.

VENDOR: Nextbike, a German company that develops and operates bike-sharing systems, provided 60 new bikes with a technology-based system that Recreational Services supports.

TECHNOLOGY: Equipped with GPS computers, the sturdy bikes have an integrated lock system. Registered users can unlock them in a variety of ways without the need for an attendant. 

LOCATION: Bikes can be rented and returned to any of eight Flashfleet locations across campus and in downtown 妖姬直播.

COST: Users can choose a pay-as-you-go plan at $2/hour or opt for an annual membership that costs students $25, faculty and staff $35 and non-妖姬直播 State community members $45 for up to three ride hours per day at no additional cost, then $1/hour over that. 

BENEFIT: 鈥淲e want to build a supportive biking culture at 妖姬直播 State,鈥 says Chris John, assistant director with the Department of Recreational Services. 鈥淏iking is a great transportation option for a healthy and sustainable campus.鈥
