On May 14th the annual Bike Extravaganza took place in the Quad as a part of the Alternative Transportation Fair. Faculty and students were able to register their bikes with Campus Security or decorate their bikes with reused material provided by The Waste Watchers. Other booths included Bike’n’Hike, Sustainable Energy Initiative, Cascades West Rideshare and Vride. The Student Sustainability Initiative was handing out items made from repurposed bike chains if participants would fill out a short survey. This survey asked how people got to campus, how people got around Corvallis and what their barriers were to using alternative forms of transportation. The results indicated that the most popular mode of transportation to campus is walking while the most popular mode for getting around Corvallis was biking. Participants also indicated that the two biggest issues preventing them from using alternative transportation were distance and weather.
