Campus transportation planning adds bicycling: not just bicycles but bicycle lanes and other accommodations
Emory University employees David Knight and Casey Brinsfield ride a bike borrowed from the schools bank of loaner bicycles to a meeting on the school's campus Friday, July 18, 2008 in Atlanta. The Atlanta school is selling discounted bicycles to students and faculty, adding bike lanes to campus roads and stocking bikes that can be borrowed free of charge. The university is pushing its $250,000 'Bike Emory' initiative, launched a year ago, in hopes of convincing students and faculty that the eco-friendly bikes are a better alternative to their four-wheeled, gas-guzzling counterparts.

Other universities are doing similar kinds of initiatives, paying greater attention to bicycling as part of a broader focus on mobility.
