The University of Idaho Sustainability Center Bike Fix is hosted every fall and spring semester as a way for students to take advantage of the resources UISC has to offer, said Wieteke Holthuijzen, projects coordinator for UISC.
Front and back bicycle lights will be available for $2 a set, Garry Whitebird, AmeriCorps volunteer for UISC said.
The Sustainability Center has a mini grant program managed by Holthuijzen. Approximately $9,000 a year is awarded and students can receive up to $3,000 to create effective ways to promote sustainability on campus.
“The prior idea (for Bike Fix) was to increase safety at night,” Whitebird said.
Bicycle mechanics from Paradise Creek Bicycles and Follett’s Mountain Sports will offer tune-up services at the event.
The UISC will also distribute safety information from the Idaho Department of Transportation as well as the City of Moscow.
The Bike Fix will be held Thursday outside the Idaho Commons.
