Student Council Launches Bike Sharing Program

Last Tuesday, I broke my leg riding one of these bikes. I’m suing StuCo.

Just kidding.

Last Tuesday, Student Council finally launched the Bike Sharing program, 37 years after the idea’s first conception and proposal in 1982.

Upper and Merrill resident Fiona Madrid was very pleased by the convenience that the Student Bike Sharing Program brought her. “I was about to be late to English class, but luckily there was a bike outside of Merrill that I hopped on and rode to Phillips Hall.”

Other students disliked the bike implementation. Several Main Street and Ewald residents remarked that the bikes took away from their experience. “Everyone else is riding the bikes, so I feel like I have to as well. I am no longer able to spend 25 minutes walking from my dorm to the outdoor fields,” an anonymous lower said.

Unfortunately, around 2/3 of the bikes were stolen by middle schoolers from the town of Exeter over the course of this week. Upper Nick Schwarz was thorougly dissapointed. “Ya know, I thought they had enough bikes already, always riding their bikes down Main Street and near Swazey/Stillwells,” Schwarz commented. “But I guess they can do a lotta cool tricks on their bikes, like wheelies.”
