Get ready, get set and go for UCLA Bike Month

May is National Bike Month - what better time to highlight the many benefits of biking, acknowledge our campus riding community and encourage more Bruins to give two-wheels a try by sharing resources that support biking at UCLA?

"Riding a bicycle is a solution to curbing the dreads of Los Angeles commuting! It helps you get in shape, get your mind right, is good for the environment and helps your community," said Nate Woiwode, supervisor of the UCLA Bike Shop. "You can make new friends in the bike lane and add joy to your life."

A nationally recognized Gold-level Bicycle Friendly University, UCLA offers programs, classes, racks and lockers for parking, DIY repair stands, commuting benefits for riding, and a campus advisory committee devoted to making biking even better for Bruins - in addition to the in-house bike shop located at the John Wooden Center.

Michelle Castelletto, an associate staff scientist in microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics, has biked to UCLA for 13 years and believes more people need to know that's an option. "Los Angeles has perfect weather for biking and most of it is flat," she said. "Lots of people bike, you can bike - and it's fun!"

Join UCLA Transportation all month for different activities. Whether you're a Bruin who travels on two wheels, two feet or even four wheels, all are welcome to participate in the festivities.
