Big Red Bikes, a student-run bike share program that launched last semester, has added new locations at Mann Library and Appel Commons, and doubled its fleet of bikes.
The gears are finally clicking for Cornell Big Red Bikes, which recently announced it will roll out its new bike sharing program before the end of classes this semester.
Big Red Bikes, the nation’s first fully integrated collegiate bike sharing system, will officially launch this fall after almost two years of planning. The group will receive $13,500 in funding next year in order to purchase the bikes, which students will be able to check out at four locations on Central Campus.
How many times have you craved a latte from Manndible, but resisted because the painfully long walk from Goldwin Smith? Or how many times have you been tempted to watch the Cornell Red take on their competitors but decided not to because of the annoying trek to Lynah rink? Well, one of Cornell’s newest student organizations doesn’t think you should be missing out on delicious coffee or hockey games any longer. The Big Red Bikes bike share program aims not only to connect students throughout Cornell’s large campus, but also to promote a more sustainable mode of transportation and create a more environmentally friendly mentality.
