Bikies, We're ready to widen the promotion of the University Bicycle Resource Center. See Dar's email below for upcoming events, or visit: http://www.transportation.wisc.edu/transportation/bike_annex.aspx
Also, if you haven't noticed yet, new high density bicycle parking racks are starting to pop up around campus. We hope that these racks will help us to meet high bicycle parking demand in tight corners. And there are now FIVE air/repair stations across campus (outside of UBRC in Lot 6, Eagle Heights Community Center, Lakeshore Dorms-right off the Lakeshore Path, 21 N. Park St, and WARF). These stations provide an air pump/compressor and a basic set of tools. Some locations also have repair stands to make your work easier.
