Bike Friendly Destination

Become a Biker

Gateway Community and Technical College has become a part of a new initiative to become a bike friendly campus. This initiative directly links to our strategic goal to develop and implement a comprehensive plan for sustainability management that details financial, environmental, and social performance gains.  The Urban Center is already a bike-friendly destination.

You CAN bike to campus. 

  • Check out the bike racks at the Urban Center and Edgewood Campus. 
  • Look for hooks in the wheelchair-accessible stalls of all the bathrooms at the Urban Center.
  • Join the Gateway community for events as we all become bikers.

Why bike to campus?

Have you seen what gas costs lately?

  • You’ll have a reserved parking place every day!
  • When you bike just four miles round-trip instead of driving, you keep 51 pounds of carbon monoxide out of the air each year and
  • you burn 36,000 calories – that’s 10 pounds of fat!
