Bike Too VU initiative sets Bike to Vanderbilt Day for May 2

Bike Too VU is a Vanderbilt group working to establish a bike commuting mentoring program among faculty, staff, employees and students on campus, including Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The long-term goals of the Bike Too VU program are to provide community and resources for people interested in or already commuting to Vanderbilt University’s campus and to Vanderbilt Medical Center. The program would involve meet-and-ride groups from various neighborhoods in the city, bicycle education classes to increase comfort while riding on the road, and networking with a community of people who are also interested in bicycling as a form of transportation to campus.

In preparation for the larger initiative next year, the Bike Too VU group is piloting a small program this spring, which would involve a Bike to Vanderbilt Day on May 2, 2018.
