University College freshman, Maria Collado, pushes her bikes through the south oval. Biking is a main way of transportation to and from campus for students.

Bikers May Soon Benefit

The city of Norman is currently reviewing a proposal to add bike lanes to the city’s main roads to better ensure students safety when traveling to and from campus.

“I would love [if they put bike lanes in.] It would be so much safer for both the biker and the driver, it would encourage biking and for people to be more green,” said Joshua Huff, philosophy senior.

The Bicycle Advisory Board is a committee that looks after the needs of the bicycling community by hosting different events such as ‘ride a bike to work week’ and free bike inspections.

The committee plans to pursue an ad campaign this year to get bikers to better understand the rules of the road.
