The Spoke is Colorado
State University's on-campus bicycling maintenance and educational training
center servicing our University students, faculty, and staff. It is operated
entirely by students, serving as a living lab where their goal is to work with
each customer, normally fellow students, sharing knowledge, techniques, and best
practices on bicycle maintenance, safety, and repairs. The Spoke provides many
services and common supplies for free or at low cost. The Spoke's bike rental
fleet currently has 70 bikes, offering students a low-cost and safe alternative
to move around campus and our community. The Spoke has cumulatively provided
more than 31,000 educational encounters since it opened in 2014. The center
continues to empower our users with access, confidence, and safer travels,
objectively making bicycling their primary mode of transportation, thus benefiting
the environment and their health.
