Spectrum: Wright State University Bicycle Library helps everyone experience a ride

WSU Bicycle Library

Excerpt from the Spectrum News

Between helping students get to class and giving them a chance to explore Ohio’s nearly 1,200 miles of trails, a bike ride can open a lot of new opportunities. 

“This is where we keep our four, four-wheeled electric bicycles as well as our wheelchairs that we play intramural sports with,” said Erin Compaleo as she opened the first door of Wright State University’s Bicycle Library Program storage room. 

Compaleo is the school’s outdoor recreation program manager. 

Inside the first room are the Raider Rigs. They’ve been on campus since November 2022. 

In a second room, they store the standard two-wheeled bikes. 

The Bicycle Library program was actually started a few years ago, but Compaleo realized there was a gap in the programming.
