Communication BLUE BIKES, DATE NIGHTS Utah State University (USU) Aggies vetting the success of a Alexi Hamm, USU Sustainability Coordinator, says, “A mild Utah winter has meant dips in Aggie Shuttle ridership, but it’s all good for encouraging year-round bicycling. USU’s Aggie Blue Bikes aims to get more people on more bikes, more often and has almost 300 donated, refurbished bicycles available to the USU community on a three month or 24-hour basis, free of charge to the user. Other services include bike tool boards, one-on-one tutorials, and departmental bikes. Aggie Blue Bikes policies to allow bicycles more access to campus and address air quality concerns, and Aggie Blue Bikes continues to work in both areas. The university became a Bike Friendly University at the Silver level in 2013 through the League of American Bicyclists. Three sessions this winter taught students about winter cycling skills and provided equipment for their three- month rentals. The 24-hour checkouts of mountain bikes, road bikes, beach cruisers, and unicycles are also well-used, with tandem bike rentals being especially popular for dates.” LOCAL Utah Bike Summit: April 10 Gas Can Exchange: April 11 Adobe Connect eLearning Seminar for Gov.
