CU Boulder employees attend a bike orientation

Community Cycles received one of five grants that allowed the organization to award electric bikes to front-line employees at CU Boulder.

Bike recipients paid $250 to get into the program and received an eBike (valued at over $1500) and all the accessories needed to keep themselves safe and their bikes secure. The CU Bike Program also helped these employees register their bikes with CU through Bike Index, get access to secure on-campus bike shelters and provide “best route” advice depending on where they live and work.
