Biking at Iowa
As part of its 2020 Vision, the UI is committed to reducing the carbon impact of transportation and is seeking 10% reduction in per capita emissions of fossil fuel-produced CO2 from University-related transportation and travel. One of the ways you can help reduce this impact is to bike to work or class.
Biking at Iowa is an environmentally-friendly and healthy alternative to driving on campus. Whether it's commuting, competitive biking, or anything in between, Iowa is a great place to bike. The League of American Bicyclists has designated the University of Iowa as a Silver Bicycle Friendly University.
See Parking and Transportation's Biking Page for information on:
- Bicycle Parking and a Bicycle Parking Map
- Bicycle Operating & Parking Regulations
- Bicycle Safety Reminders
- Bicycle Registration
- Bicycle Repair Stations
See the UI Department of Public Safety's tips to prevent bike theft.
