Last year I rode about 5 miles one way to school, but I moved this summer and now only have to ride about 2 miles one way. There are bike lanes almost all the way there and in general cars are very respectful of bikes (at least in this part of town).

I really like riding around campus late at night. Some friends and I will often go for a nice bike ride (10-20 miles) after a night of drinking. Nice paved roads + no cars + some alcohol = fun.

There is a bus system that runs around campus, but it doesn't come out anywhere close to where I live so basically the only other option is walking (which I have done a few times, including when I lived about 5 miles away).

There have been huge increases in people going to class by bike, and while they have been adding new bike racks, there still aren't nearly enough. This semester has been insane as far as increased biking to class goes. We are working to get more bike racks, but its a slow process. I imagine the number of people riding to class will go down somewhat once the weather starts getting colder. There is definitely a huge decrease on rainy days.

I have an Arkel Bug that I use for classes and I love it. I usually ride in to class, convert to backpack, and then just walk from class to class.

Parking is pretty ridiculous. From talking to people that live close to me, it takes 10-15 minutes longer to drive due to traffic and finding a parking spot.

There aren't really any problems with theft on my campus as far as I know. I have never heard anything about bikes/bike parts being stolen and I've never seen a bike with missing wheels or similar.
