CU Boulder Bike News - March 2021

Ralphie standing next to CU Boulder Bike Station.

Welcome to the new and improved CU Bike Newsletter! We have been experimenting with a new format, and we think this looks and feels better than the previous format.

In this new format, you will find that news is divided into three main sections: CU Bike Program News, Community News & Events, and Safety. We have also kept the Trivia section and added a Quick Links section for easy access to frequently used/helpful links. Most article titles are hyperlinked--click on the article titles to learn more about a specific subject.

We are planning on adding more features to the newsletter and we would love to hear any thoughts and suggestions you may have! Send us an email at bicycle@colorado.edu. Enjoy the reading, and we will see you again next month!

CU Bike Program News

New CU bike registration program

As of Spring 2021, CU has a new bike registration system powered by Bike Index, the leading nationwide bike registration platform. Any bikes previously registered under the old sticker system must be re-registered with the new Bike Index. The new system has many benefits and registration only takes a few steps. Visit the Environmental Center's web page for more info. Now is the time to register or re-register your bike!

Boulder B-Cycle Has Gone Electric!

In addition to the classic red bikes, there will 100 white eBikes available for use by April 1st of this year (there are currently close to 40 available). Look for the cloud with a lightning bolt on the station icons in the B-Cycle app to determine if there are any eBikes at your station destination. Please read the instructions in the eBike basket and check out Boulder B-Cycle's website (linked to the article title above) for more info. Happy riding!

*Please note: The new eBikes do NOT have an external cable lock like the red bikes do. Please be sure to return your eBike safely to a station when you are done with your trip and do not leave unattended/undocked*
