Promoting Alternatives to Cars

Apparently to counter surging car usage by undergraduates, colleges are taking steps (including free bikes) to encourage biking on campus!

Update! These metafilter blog posts do a nice job of rounding up Community Biking Programs ! and city-led Community Biking Programs.

This was a fun comment:

"Hampshire college had community bikes, and they were all beat up, the brakes didn't work, etc. You would be on the walkway with friends and hear someone shout "COMMUNITY BIKE" and everyone dove out of the way. "
