Bikes for Commuters.
I'm commuting but would like to have a bike on campus.
What are my options?

Well, how far are you commuting from? I assume its too far to bike all the way

If you can fit a bike in your vehicle, that's always an option. But unloading and reloading can be a hassle. You could also keep your bike on-campus, although then you have the disadvantage of not being able to use it while you're home.

Honestly though, I would say a bike on campus is not very practical. By the time you deal with finding a bike rack, locking your bike up, etc. It takes pretty much the same amount of time to walk. And you won't be walking for more than 8 minutes, even if you're going from Togo Salmon to ABB, which is probably the greatest distance between classrooms.

I rode my bike to campus last year, and I found that I would always just leave my bike near my first class of the day, and walk to every other class.
