<p>I'm wondering about bikes on campus. How would a student secure their bike, especially in winter? Is there a lock room for bikes (or similar) in the residence halls? Does Walmart have places to lock one's bike while shopping? How common is it for students to bring bikes?</p>
<p>Questions are being asked by an out-of-state person. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>S has always kept a bicycle inside the dorm on campus, although he starting taking his car sophomore year. He uses a regular bicycle lock. During the winter, he moves it to some type of more out of the way storage area I have never seen.</p>
<p>The campus is adjacent to a rail trail that runs for miles and provides easy access to other areas of town. It may, however, be difficult to ride safely to Walmart, but someone with a car is always going to Walmart.</p>
<p>S is also a runner. Had they told us about the rail trail during our campus tours, it would have cinched the deal! What a pleasant surprise that was for him when he arrived on campus. :)</p>
