The University of Washington was given a Gold-level Bicycle Friendly University award by the League of American Bicyclists in recognition of the UW's achievements in promoting and enabling safe, accessible bicycling on campus.
It's easy to bike to home UW football games! Avoid traffic and know your bike is secure while you're watching the game by utilizing Transportation Services' free bike valet service.
The bike valet is on Rainier Vista, just off the Burke-Gilman trail and close to Husky Stadium. You can drop your bike off anytime starting two hours before kickoff, and pick up in the hour after the game ends.

There's a new way to deliver the mail at the University of Washington.
UW Mailing Services has recently rolled out a pair of bicycles to use in moving mail around campus. Mailing Services Manager Steven Roberts said the bikes will help most with small or express jobs which come in after the usual daily routes are finished. In the past, these tasks would have required a driver to use a truck. Even though the Mailing Services fleet is all hybrid-electric vehicles, using a truck still means using some gas.
