National Bike Month

May is National Bike Month, which celebrates biking as a popular type of recreation and an environmentally friendly mode of transportation that can help reduce one’s carbon footprint. The Office of Energy & Sustainability encourages you to review incentives that make cycling a sustainable way to commute to campus.

  • Bike racks are available in the inner courtyard at Olin Hall. You may also use the bike racks on the BRB/Lasdon House terrace, accessible through the iron gate west of the Lasdon House entrance on East 70th Street.*
  • Secured bicycle parking is available through the Lasdon House and Weill Greenberg Center Parking Garages. Bicycle parking rates apply and are posted inside each garage entrance.*

Commuter Showers
Showers for commuters are located on the second floor of the Belfer Research Building. They are available upon request.*
