MSU Bikes, run by my friend Tim Potter here on the campus of Michigan State University, has been getting a bit of local press attention lately: first a feature in Capital Gains web magazine, followed by a live interview on radio station WILS.
From Capital Gains:
Tim Potter of MSU Bikes
MSU Bikes is a university-sponsored program that simultaneously encourages bike use and supports the biking community, all while helping to clean up the campus.
The program was originally conceived as a way to encourage university faculty and employees to do a little more biking and a little less driving. Under Potter’s direction, MSU Bikes picks the best bikes out of the crop of bikes regularly abandoned and cleared from the racks around campus, cleans them up and gets them back on the road.
Student employees tear down and rebuild the bikes, test them for safety and bring them back to life as the now ubiquitous Green Bikes.
