The Orange Bike program has been picked up from the streets of other cities, like Portland and Toronto, and brought to Stillwater and translated into a format that fits the OSU campus. On a daily basis students hitch rides from friends across or around our campus. Orange Bikes will provide students an opportunity to hop on a bike for a casual ride without the anxiety of having to lock up your valuable bike for fear of theft. Sharing bikes can be effective transportation for students and faculty with daily campus commutes or even for the occasional jaunt across campus. To help contribute a solution to these concerns Outdoor Adventure is going to be providing Orange Bikes free of charge for use on the OSU campus.

Orange Bikes will be maintained in safe riding condition. Drive trains will be fully functional; every bike will be equipped with a working brake and reflectors to increase visibility on all sides. Bikes will be painted entirely orange and parked at campus bike racks. OSU students, faculty and staff are encouraged to pick up a bike to ride on campus, and just return it to a campus bike rack when they are finished.

• Do feel free to ride entirely orange bikes
• Do Ride at Your Own Risk
• Do follow local bike laws
• Do wear a helmet
• Do return it to a campus bike rack
• Do call to report broken and damaged bikes 744-5581
  
  
  

Don't Forget:


• Do Not ride a broken bike
• Do Not keep Orange Bikes
• Do Not ride beyond your ability level
• Do Not ride at night
• Do Not lock up Orange Bikes for private use

These policies have been adopted and modified for the OSU campus from our friends at Outdoor Endeavors at St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota. OSU Outdoor Adventure would like to thank the SCSU Outdoor Endeavors program director Ivan Bartha for his assistance in developing our local program.
