Mark Cornelison | UK Photo. LEXINGTON, KY. (Feb. 3, 2023) — Do you cycle to campus, regardless of the weather? University of Kentucky Transportation Services will celebrate all-season cyclists during the upcoming Winter Bike to Campus Day.
Each year, UK Transportation Services recognizes cyclists who brave the winter weather to cycle year-round. This year’s event is set for 7:30-9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8. Stop by our tent at Wildcat Alumni Plaza to highlight all-weather cycling as an effective and efficient mode of transportation.
Enjoy a cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate and grab some swag (UK-branded balaclavas!), while supplies last. You must be on a bicycle to participate.
The Wildcat Wheels mobile bike shop will be on-site to assist with any on-the-spot tune-ups. Staff will also offer live demonstrations on how to load your bicycle onto a bus rack.
