Cycling students catch columnist’s attention

If you are serious about sustainable transportation, your vehicle of choice is a bicycle. In his “City Talk” column in the Sept. 21 Savannah Morning News, Bill Dawers points out another positive benefit to going by bike: Every person who arrives under pedal power frees up parking spaces for those who can’t or won’t leave their cars at home. Dawers made this observation of SCAD’s recently opened Arnold Hall:

“Why isn’t the parking crunch worse if there are so many courses offered? Many students are obviously taking the student shuttle, and when I dropped by one afternoon last week, there were 93 bicycles and three mopeds locked in front of the school.”
