Bike Parking and Facilities | E-Bikes | Bike Resources
Berkeley Lab encourages safe cycling and is working to continually foster a more bike-friendly campus for its staff. Cycling provides an alternative to automobile use for travel to, from, and around the laboratory site and promotes sustainability and wellness in the workplace. Bicycling can be a dependable, low-cost, enjoyable mode of transportation. Cycling also burns about 300 to 500 calories an hour, so you can commute and stay fit at the same time. Members of the Lab community are eligible for monthly bike and e-bike leases.
