[PHOTOJOURNALISM] Bikes on Campus

Go back to the days of your college search, and recall browsing a Conn brochure or clicking through our website: classes walking through the Arboretum, the beckoning “Connecticut College” sign at the main entrance surrounded by foliage, students using the Green as an active social and athletic space – this is all true of our school, with one critical element missing: vehicles. With an immense amount of students – about fifty percent – with cars on our campus and the College’s subsequent attempts to find parking for them all, our attempts at becoming “environmentally-friendly” have stood in stark contrast to the amount of smog we produce. However, with the College’s Master Plan, which, among other things, is working to make the campus more pedestrian-friendly, the College Voice is commending those who have already made the effort to make our campus greener, to those who were eco-friendly before it was cool: we present to you an article in pictures, some of the best bikes on campus.
