A bike box is a marked area for bicycles at the front of intersections that allow bicyclists to position themselves in front of motorist traffic when the light is red. Motorists should stop just before the box, while cyclists ride up the lane and move over into the box, in front of the cars. Bike Boxes make cyclists at intersections more visible, reduce “right hook” crashes between cars and cyclists and allow bicyclists to wait for a light without having to breathe exhaust.
We could tell you but our poster covers it so well. For more information on the shared lane project go here.
Bike Emory, Emory Police and Bicycle South strongly recommend that you use a U-lock to secure your bike.
Cable locks are easy for thieves to cut and put your bike at risk. Bike Emory offers Bulldog brand u-locks at a discount through our website. To purchase our discounted u-lock please visit our buy page.
Also remember to lock your bike around the frame of your bike and not just the wheel. If you only lock your wheel thieves can simply remove your wheel and take the rest of your bike. See the picture below for an example of how to properly lock your bike with a u-lock.
Also here is a helpful video that shows how to properly lock your bike:
In a word, YES. You can test ride out bikes at Bicycle South anytime. Bicycle South is located at 2098 North Decatur Road in Decatur, GA.
For information on Emory’s Bicycle Parking Rules and Regulations please read beginning on page 15 of Emory’s TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING HANDBOOK document.
Bike Emory works with Parking and Transportation and Campus Services to seize abandoned bikes twice a year. Bikes that appear to be abandoned will be tagged and if the tag is not removed in one week the bike will be removed and stored for thirty days. If the bike is not claimed in thirty days the bike will be donated or re-purposed. If you believe that your bike has been seized please contact Bike Emory.
