Bicycles at WashU?

Bikes aren’t really that necessary. There are lots of bike racks if you want to bring one, but you could totally get by without having one. Campus isn’t that big :)

Bring a bike if you enjoy taking excursions and think you’ll do a lot of biking (as opposed to running, I suppose) in Forest Park. But it’s like not at all essential to have one. It takes MAYBE 10 minutes to walk from Brookings to the AC, and those are on the complete opposite ends of campus.

I would advise against bringing one, and if you decide you want one when you’re here, then go to Bear’s Bikes as one of the other posters said. They have some nice stuff, and WUPD has bike locks and stuff.
