As part of statewide California Bike to Work Day, the UCLA
Cycling team will be offering free bike tune-ups Thursday, May 16
in Westwood Plaza from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The campus event, which is meant to encourage people to bike to
campus and avoid the heavy Los Angeles traffic, is being
co-sponsored by the L.A. County Bike Coalition, the UCLA Cycling
Club, UCLA Transportation Services and the Santa Monica Big Blue
Bus.
In addition, the event will also offer free bike safety tips and
bike commuting information, as well as bike registrations from UCLA
CSO Officers.
“The school is approaching the limit on the number of car
trips allowed on streets that access the university,” said
Alex Smith, a member of the Cycling Club. “So, it is in the
best interests of both the students and the university to encourage
riding a bike to campus.”
