The Alfred State College (ASC) recreation department has developed an electric bike loaner station in the Student Leadership Center.

Ten Aventon Sinch Fat-Tire Foldable E-Bikes are available for students to sign out to venture up and down the hills of campus and the surrounding area. To sign out a bike, students need to go to the recreation page on Pioneer Link and fill out the E-bike rental form. Bikes are available Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. and from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday beginning on August 29.

Coordinator of Campus Recreation Brooke Scianna cannot wait to see the bikes in use. “We are so excited to offer a different form of transportation on campus or into town for our students through campus recreation. It is an exciting addition to our recreation offerings.”

The recreation office is located right next to the Rockwall in the Student Leadership Center.
