Bike Tags
In an attempt to rid the campus of abandoned bikes from bike racks on campus we are asking members of the Luther community to tag their bike if they plan on using their bike during the winter months. Bike tags can be obtained from the Welcome Desk. Tags must be put on bikes that will be using the bike racks on campus during the winter months. The tag this year is bright red, so if you have an orange tag from last year you must apply a red tag to your bike. All bikes that do not have a red tag will be removed during Winter break. Luther is not responsible for replacing locks or cables that may need to be cut for removal of bikes. This is an attempt to remove all abandoned bikes on campus to clear space on the bikes racks.
Winter survival skills
Stop by the Rec Services office 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, to see what should be kept in vehicles for winter driving. You could win a prize from our winter survival basket! Sponsored by Wellness/Security Services.
