Duke's new bike program

by brandon last modified 2007-09-24 08:46

I checked out the opening of the new Duke bike rental system last week. Really cool idea that is easy to participate in and FREE. Just swipe your Duke card at the office located next to the bike racks (below the Bryan Center Plaza) and you’ve got yourself a good looking bike for up to 5 days including lock, helmet, and light. I’ve already seen a number of the bikes traveling across campus.

bike program 1While the program only started with 100 bikes, this is already a popular program. I checked out the bicycle racks yesterday and there were only a dozen or so that had not been checked out. If you don’t own a bike but thought about commuting with one – this is a great chance to change your commuting lifestyle. My bike commute is actually one of the favorite parts of my school day. There are plenty of bike lanes on campus and the roads that surround Duke. Safety has never been an issue. I can’t think of a better alternative to the Duke bus system!

bike program 2Grab a bike and give it a try! You won’t regret it.

This is really cool, but how much they charge for 5 days?
