Free Bikes in Wisconsin
A small liberal arts college in Wisconsin is giving bikes away to freshman. All they have to do is promise not to bring a car to campus. The parking situation had gotten so bad at Ripon College that they decided to give a Trek 820 mountain bike, a helmet, and a bike lock to incoming freshman not clogging up the parking lots.
“We’re a residential college with a beautiful, historic campus in the middle of a small town,” said President David Joyce, an avid cyclist. “Paving it over was not an option I was willing to consider.”
This is a great plan with only one problem I can see…. leave class, walk out to the bike rack… OH SNAP, which one is mine!?!?
