The University of Colorado Boulder’s Environmental Center recently hosted its fifth annual CU Bike Fest on Thursday, Sept. 1 at Farrand Field. The event aimed to raise awareness about CU programs to support student bikers, get bikes registered and educate community members about the Environmental Center’s services.
The center offers CU students services like bike repairs and bike lock sales and services while encouraging the use of a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to get around campus.
Sara Fitzpatrick, an Environmental Office student representative, said she hopes biking can be a gateway to other sustainable habits.
“The bike fest has been running for several years now, and it’s just to encourage people to be biking around and take pride in being zero-emission,” she said.
