The bicycle is king next week as UCF celebrates Bike Week 2015.<\/p>\n
Bike Week will pack in a slew of bike-related activities, starting with a bicycle flash mob on Monday that organizers hope will bring together a sea of two-wheeled transportation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s going to be a really fun week of events,\u201d said Student Union communications manager Sara Lane.<\/p>\n
The event, which includes 11 activities running from Monday through Thursday, is co-sponsored by the Recreation and Wellness Center and the Student Union. The focus is \u201csafety, sustainability and sport,\u201d Lane said.<\/p>\n
It was created to encourage a bike-friendly atmosphere at and around UCF, and to recognize the environmental benefits of bike riding.<\/p>\n
Students also have a chance to get a free bike.<\/p>\n
Organizers will give away two bikes. One will go to a student randomly selected from those who participate in at least three of the events. (Students will prove their participation by getting a passport stamped and turning it in at the information desks at the Student Union or RWC.<\/p>\n
