Bikes: Niles to lead campus tours
■ Continued from Page 1A
But this is only the tip of the
iceberg for Niles.
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.

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.
If you are interested in learn
ing more about biking at the Uni
versity or have any suggestions
for new biking programs, call
Niles at 346-0947 or e-mail him
