Happy World Bicycle Day! On June 3rd, we take a moment to celebrate the bicycle – an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and great mean of transportation and exercise. Back in the 1970s, students at Ohio Wesleyan University embraced cycling as their primary mode of getting around. However, this trend brought about some challenges, including concerns over traffic and students habitually parking their bikes inappropriately. This included blocking the doors of university buildings and creating potential fire hazards. To tackle this issue, Calvin Potter, the director of OWU’s Safety and Security, had a reminder for all students: Make sure to park your bikes in the designated racks to avoid the possibility of having your wheels impounded by campus authorities. The fines in 1971 were $2 to retrieve an impounded bike, which would amount to $16.45 with today’s inflation. 🚲
