Bicycling is an important part of the CSU and Fort Collins culture. Not only is it an efficient, low impact means of transportation, but it is fun and also makes you feel good. With relatively flat terrain and mild, year-round climate, CSU is an ideal campus to leave the car behind and use pedal-power to get around.
Upcoming Events
Summer Bike to Work Day is coming up on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Stop by CSU’s breakfast station on the Oval, 6:30-9:30 a.m. for drinks, food and fun activities.
Visit the City of Fort Collins’ Bike to Work Day website for more information and to see other station locations.
