Life is like Riding a Bike...

This fall semester has been a hectic one when it comes to getting to and from school transportation-wise; ironically, CSULB is considered a "commuter school". Traffic congestion has increased and parking lots have become extremely full, making parking stressful and time consuming. In order to get to classes on time, students must incorporate extra time in their commute to school for parking and then walking to class.


However, some students have taken a different path in coming to CSULB by riding bicycles, skate boards, walking to school, etc. Bikes have become a popular choice amongst students. Clearly, this option probably is not available to everyone because some students reside in areas too far from campus to ride a bicycle but for those who do may find it beneficial.

"I like taking my bike because of where I live. I don't have to worry about leaving early to find a spot." Said Greg Lloyd, a senior communications major. "I can lock it up pretty much anywhere and I save on not needing to get a parking pass." 


According to Greg, bicycles at CSULB do not require a parking permit, however students should lock their bikes up in order to keep them safe. Taking a bicycle to school, like walking, may be an option students can look into if they do not have a car accessible or they rather not bother with the busy congestion. The CSULB web site offers more information about bicyclists here.
