Its creation follows widespread criticism of 麻豆AV鈥檚 current policy to prevent cyclists from using their bicycles on campus鈥攆or example, with the Milton bike gates installed at the start of the academic year.

Created in Fall 2013, the group consists of faculty, staff, and student representatives, who are developing recommendations on the subject following deliberation, consultation, and analysis of the current situation.
