Bicyclists at SF State were given VIP treatment Nov. 4 in honor of the fourth bike-to-school day, now part of the first-ever Sustainable SF State Week.

ECO Students and the SF State Bicycle Advocacy Group joined forces to offer SF State riders free valet parking in the Quad, a makeshift repair shop offering minor fixes, useful biking information and even breakfast on their way to class.

"We want to promote cycling on campus, both as alternative transportation and as a way to encourage the administration to create better infrastructure for bikes on campus," said Bicycle Advocacy Group member and bike-to-school day organizer Randall Orr said.

Students unaware of bike-to-school day were pleasantly surprised to find the free services geared especially for bicyclists set up in the Quad.

Alexis Garrod, a kinesiology major, said that when she was about to lock her bike up at the top of campus, she saw a flyer for today's event and rolled on over.

Coffee, bagels and muffins were laid out on a table in front of a sign reading "Only if you biked to school." Another table, covered in tools, offered brake and handlebar adjustments and tire re-inflation. Volunteer mechanic and art major Jessie Fernandez said he enjoys helping riders when he has the free time.

"Even when I don't, I'll skip class and work on people's bikes," Fernandez said. "It's a lot of fun."

Organizers said that although the turnout this semester was slightly smaller than previous events due to a lack of promotion, it was still a success.

"It opens up the possibility that this is a practical option, not only for students but for faculty as well," said Simon Lee, a San Francisco Bike Coalition volunteer.

Communications major Maddie Cushman, 18, said that like many other students, she had already parked her bike at the top of campus when she stumbled upon the collection of the free perks in the Quad.

"I definitely would've parked my bike there," Cushman said.

When asked what she liked about biking to school, Cushman replied, "It's adventurous, you get this Indiana Jones feeling when you weave in and out of cars. I love it."
