Interesting thoughts, Jonathan. I do think that we need to work on the chevrons and bike storage capacities first. I encourage you to bring up the issue at the next meeting. Perhaps we can propose some steps toward improved bicycle transportation for the University to Mike Garrison sometime soon.

I have always strongly held that if we really want to make a significant change here in Morgantown we need to target WVU. While community bike programs in the United States (vs Europe) are often riddled with vandalism and theft issues, this blog at AASHE - http://www.aashe.net/staffblog/campus-culture/community-yellow-bike-programs - claims the Bicycle Library - http://www.uky.edu/HR/wellness/wildcatwheels.html - at the University of Kentucky is set-up in a way that avoids these problems via a check-out system with accountability.
Now that WVU is back in session this may be an interesting approach to bring to the awareness of the SGA. What do you all think?
Jonathan
