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.
