       Cyclists can expect a smoother ride on campus as the Physical Planning division begins constructing bicycle paths. One of the first on-campus routes is under construction behind the Horn Center and the University Art Museum.  

       The Daily 49er last reported on the construction plans in March 2009. The article mentioned Fehr & Peers group would conduct studies on all CSULB roadway geometries to see where bicycle routes could be constructed.

       Kevin Flaherty, a geography graduate student and creator of the cyclist organization called CSULB Cyclists  worked with faculty, students, and administration to help make CSULB a bike-friendly environment. Now the group, headed by Julia Dancyger continues to "promote cycling as a fun, valued, and sustainable transportation choice at [CSULB] through community, advocacy and education." Students can expect to see more paths emerge around campus.
