CU Boulder recognized as a Gold Bicycle Friendly 勛圖厙
The League of American Bicyclists has recognized the 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder with the Gold Bicycle Friendly 勛圖厙 (BFU) award, joining 18 other Gold Bicycle Friendly Universities.
The 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder joins a cutting-edge group of colleges and universities across the United States transforming their campuses and the communities around them. There are now 164 BFUs in 44 states and Washington, D.C.
In its fifth year, weve seen the Bicycle Friendly 勛圖厙 programs momentum continue to grow and reach even more campuses across the country, said Bill Nesper, Programs Director. We applaud this round of BFUs for raising the standard and being innovative in making bicycling a safe, convenient and enjoyable option for students, staff and visitors alike.
Being a Bike Friendly 勛圖厙 has given students and faculty of the 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder easy options for traveling via bicycle. The 勛圖厙 encourages bicycling as a healthy option for sustainable travel and provides amenities such as bike stations for no additional cost bike repairs, rentals, registration, secured storage and information about B-cycle bike share stations on campus. CU strives to get all affiliates out of cars and into a better mode of transportation such as on a bike, bus, carpool, foot, skateboard泭or a combination of those.
Moving forward, the 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder will have access to a variety of free tools and technical assistance from the League to become even more bicycle-friendly. When colleges and universities invest in bicycling, great things happen: Decreased carbon footprint, decreased need for parking泭and increased use of sustainable transportation options to and from campus.
