Good idea to buy bike?

Bikes are very popular to the point that before each class starts, campus is really congested with pedestrians/bikes/skateboards/etc. I used to live near Ellendale and I’d bike to campus, but I’d avoid those high traffic times. I’d also get to campus, park, and leave my bike in the same place all day as opposed to biking between classes.

If you bike, be careful at the intersections, such as at Jefferson/McClintock–sometimes police officers will drop by and hand out tickets to people who don’t walk their bikes.

The tram is nice but walking takes the same amount of time. It’s really great for rainy/cold/super hot days though and if you’re carrying heavy stuff.
