New Bikes on Campus

North Central College, where I am taking my grad classes, has purchased 20 refurbished classic looking red bikes and given them to students. All students. All the bikes have locks with the exact same combination so if you see one on campus and want to take a ride you are welcome to. It's kind of like the bike program at University of Wisconsin - Madison. The seats are kind of high which makes getting on with a backpack kind of a challenge but the ride is oh so smooth. It's a nice little surprise to walk out of a class and see that you can take a bike ride home instead of walking.
