What is Bengals and Bikes?
Bengals & Bikes (B&B) is a campus organization open to students, faculty, and staff. Our goals are to promote all things bicycle and to have fun! Activities include group rides, learn to ride lessons, repair clinics, safety clinics, presentations, and other events. Bengals & Bikes is not just for riders. We are committed to building bicycle culture and infrastructure on campus and in the community to promote bicycle safety, healthy lifestyles, as well as advocating for racial, climate justice, and transportation justice. Join Bengals & Bikes and join the bicycle movement!
We plan to host a number of events this spring and need your help. If you would like to lead a ride or host a repair clinic, (or if you would like to be added to our communications) please contact Eric "Luke" Krieg faculty advisor in the Department of Sociology or Aglaya "Glasha" Zinenko, the organization's president. You need to bring your own bike to partake in the rides. To learn more about our schedule of events, be sure to request that we add you to our Bengal Connect site.
