Wouldn't it be great if Penn State students, staff, and faculty could grab a bike, ride across campus to a meeting or work, and drop the bike off a la the Parisian Velib program?

Lienard Chang and the University Park Undergraduate  Association (UPUA) Facilities Committee are proposing just that. They've named it the rideBLUE program. UPUA plans to collaborate with B-Cyle in Denver CO.They've also studied other programs such as the bike-share at Carnegie Mellon University.

After inserting a Penn State ID+ or other ID, you could grab a bike and go. No charges unless you kept the bike for more than 8 hr or for loss or excessive damage. You must wear a helmet!!
