Is a bike handy/needed at UPenn?

<p>I’ve seen a few bikes around campus. Are they at all by any means helpful or a hassle? I’m thinking about this because I’m going to be living near the high-rises and have engineering class across campus. But, I don’t want to deal with parts getting stolen. :P</p>

<p>I have a feeling that most of the bikes you see on campus belong to people who live in Center City or some similar distance off campus.</p>

<p>Its only about 5 or 6 blocks from the high-rises to engineering land anyway. The only time you won't want to walk is when its too cold or wet to ride a bike anyway.</p>

<p>Ah, thanks again WilliamC!</p>
