Hi everyone! I just stumbled onto this group. I see that it hasn’t been active for a while, but if there’s interest in reviving it, I’d love to participate (or if you all just moved to another platform, please let me know where!)
Last year I got in touch with a number of fellow bike commuters at Hostos, and several of us would like to improve our college’s secure bike parking situation for staff/faculty (right now=one rack at the back of a parking lot), create secure bike parking for students, and, more ambitiously, encourage the development of a more bike-positive culture.
For the spring, I’m wondering if Covid will increase some people’s interest in bike commuting as a way to avoid the trains, but of course so far it has also meant many fewer people on campus, so our one rack is no longer overflowing. So we don’t have evidence of existing demand in order to advocate for a better set-up right now.
I’m wondering what bike commuting/parking/attitude have looked like at other colleges since the last time this group was active, and what you all might be anticipating on your campuses for the spring?
