As we head into spring, Bike to Work Day is around the corner! May is National Bike Month, and Bike to Work Day is Thursday, May 8. Get ready to ride by tuning-up your bike or joining a free class to learn bike safety tips or skills.

Bike tune-up discount

The Campus Bike Shop is offering a full bike tune-up special, “Ride a Safe Bike,” ($75 value) for $55! The tune-up includes the following:

• Adjustment of front and rear hubs
• Minor wheel tuning
• Lubrication and adjustment of front and rear brakes and gears

You must call in advance for an appointment: 650.723.9300. This is a popular special that sells out quickly, and the offer ends on April 30.

Free Bike Safety Classes

Class attendees learn bike safety and the rules of the road and receive a voucher to purchase a $40 helmet for only $10 from the Campus Bike Shop. Pre-registration is required on the Stanford Department of Public Safety website. Attend one of these upcoming Bike Safety Classes:

P&TS has teamed up with Parkmobile to make paying for visitor parking on campus easier. Visitors can now use the Parkmobile app or mobile website to pay using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express) at metered, pay-and-display and pay-by-space parking locations. In addition to the visitor parking fee, Parkmobile charges 35 cents for each transaction.

Using Parkmobile, you can opt to receive a mobile phone notification 15 minutes before your parking session is set to expire. If you haven’t exceeded the maximum time limit of the space where you are parked, you have the option to extend your parking through the app or by calling 877.727.5718. The toll-free number is posted on the meter or pay machine.

Not all visitor spaces are equipped to accept Parkmobile payments at this time, so look for the green Parkmobile sticker posted on the parking meter or pay machine.

Other visitor parking payment options: In addition to Parkmobile, visitors have the option of paying at coin-operated meters and pay machines, or purchasing one-day visitor “scratcher” permits in advance at P&TS. For more information about these options, along with parking locations and time limits, visit the P&TS Visitor Parking page.

Alternative transportation for visitors: Visitors also have the option of using alternative transportation and requesting custom transit and/or bicycle trip planning assistance. If you are planning events at Stanford, please support the university's General Use Permit (GUP) goals by considering what you can do to avoid generating peak-hour trips on campus.

For questions about visitor parking, contact parkingoperations@stanford.edu. For questions about alternative transportation or trip planning assistance, contact commuteclub@stanford.edu.

Stanford Commute Club is pleased to announce the winners in the 2013 Fall Promotion prize drawings, which included Commute Club members, those with commuter parking permits who pledged to use alternative transportation on a part-time basis, and resident students who pledged not to drive alone from campus during the afternoon peak commute.
