He said bicycle security is also a problem on campus. “We need to do more in the area of security,” he said. "There is a problem of vandalism on campus.” One facility already in place to curb bicycle vandalism is the bi cycle cage under the Onyx Bridge. Niles said students can use the gaited cage, which was completed a few months ago, for S20 per year. An additional facility Niles said he hopes will materialize is a biking resource center. Niles said he is hoping to house such a facility with a proposed cam pus environmental resource cen ter. He said he would like to see a building with students and staff who know how to work on bikes. “I think it's a couple of years away, but it’s something I would like to pilot,” he said. But improving bicycle park ing, security and maintenance is not all Niles said he has in store for the University in the coming years. Niles hopes to persuade stu dents as well as University staff and employees to use bikes more in their everyday lives. One method would be to cre ate fleets of bikes for departmen tal use. Under this plan, Niles said each department would have an assigned number of bikes that students and faculty could use. The bikes would be free and the users would have to lock and return the bikes after use. He also noted that the bikes could also be available for prospective students who visit the campus and community. Niles said he already plans to lead multiple bike tours for new students during the week before fall classes. EMERALD The Tandem Taxi service bicycles students around compus. Although Niles said he does not have a set plan of how to fund the bikes for such a pro gram, he said one option would use abandoned bikes the Univer sity has collected. The Office of Public Safety is also getting in on Niles’ plan to promote bike use on campus. He said that OPS currently uses two bicycles rather than squad cars to patrol the campus. In addition to bicycle patrolling, Niles said he is also attempting to have parking enforcement use bikes in their daily routines. But Niles said student input is the most important spoke in the process of making biking im provements a reality. “I’m really encouraging people to let me know their concerns about bik ing,” he said. One way Niles said he will at tempt to solicit more student in put is through a Web page for the University’s biking program. Through ihe Web site, Niles hopes to start a mentor program where students who do not nor mally use hikes could work with an experienced biker.
