Bicycle rentals versus bring-your-own?

I rented a UBike freshman year, didn’t get one this year. My dorm and the building where most of my classes are are pretty much as distant from each other as possible, but I haven’t had any problems getting around without a bike. A bike is convenient, but far from necessary. UBikes are pretty cheap, though. The other student agencies, not so much…

Also – make sure you have a decent lock. My UBike got stolen last year (I had a fairly weak lock on it). Lucky me, I later found it in another dorm’s bike rack, unlocked.
