Flashfleet Lunch and Learn on April 20

Have you noticed the kiosks of Flashfleet bikes and wondered how to rent one? Flashfleet is the university's short-term bike sharing program. Flashfleet bikes are available at several locations on campus. Students, faculty and staff and even community members can rent bikes with a yearly membership or by paying as they go.

During a lunch and learn on April 20, Chris John, assistant director for recreational services, will demonstrate (no riding required) how easy it is to register for, rent, return and safely bike using the Flashfleet system. This is a great lunch and learn to attend so that you will be prepared for our lunchtime bike rides that will be offered later this spring!

Registration is required for this lunch and learn, which will take place from noon-1 p.m. in Heer Hall, Room 107. A light lunch will be provided for registered attendees. .
