Project Description: 

The Bike Library is a program that lends bikes to students and staff on a quarterly basis for free. The Bike Library is already in existence, and needs programatic development such as building a strong supportive bike community. This last year we replaced tired bikes with 30 brand new bikes and have added a bike skills class to help promote confidence riding around town and sharing roadways with cars. By building cycling skills and general confidence on the roadways, the program hopes to increase miles driven by bicycles instead of cars.

Metrics for Success:

Results: 

All new bikes, helmets and lights were purchased and put into place in the bike library program. We had a successful year (20-21) in lending out all bikes for use during covid and the project will continue. This Carbon Fund project is now complete.
