Bicycling
is a great way to travel - it's healthy, fun, and environmentally friendly!
However, because NC State is an urban campus and most of the routes
are on-road, cyclists need to prepare and plan for the optimum,
safe cycling experience.
Make
sure your bicycle is safe and adjusted correctly for the maximum
amount of control, and know your skill and comfort level operating
a bicycle on different facilities (off-road, on-road, multi-use
paths).
Register your bicycle to prevent theft
We strongly encourage you to register your bicycle. Registering your bicycle gives you the following advantages:
We can easily contact you if your bike is stolen and recovered.
Deters potential thieves.
Your bike permit decal is good for the lifetime of the bicycle.
