FSU received Silver Certification as a Bicycle Friendly University in 2021 and continues to invest in bicycle infrastructure campus-wide. Bicycle racks are available outside of almost every building on campus and monitored by the FSU Police Department. All Seminole Express and StarMetro buses are equipped with easy-to-use bike racks, so the FSU community can bring their bicycles with them anywhere they need to go.
Sustainable Campus and Transportation and Parking Services have partnered with the American Bicycle Education Association to offer CyclingSavvy for free to FSU students, faculty, and staff. CyclingSavvy is a nationwide cycling safety program that has helped thousands of cyclists learn skills and strategies that make cycling safer and more accessible for everyone. The basics course provides an introduction to key concepts for riding safely and confidently while commuting to and around campus.
FSU has several bicycle advocacy groups on campus including: the Transportation Advisory Group and a student bike club. Transportation and Parking Services offers a plethora of bike information including registering your bike with FSUPD, bike maintenance, how to use StarMetro’s bus bike rack. FSU also has a reCycle Bike program where students can rent bikes at low costs, take part in education classes, group rides, or utilize the free repair servicing at mobile fix-it events.
