With more than 200 students allowing volunteer valets to watch over their bicycles in a sequestered section of the quad’s grassy lawn, organizers called SF State’s second Take Your Bicycle to School Day a success. One lucky student won a new bicycle by promising to give up driving a car for a year.

The day’s participation virtually doubled last year’s, said Matt Bissell, an environmental studies senior volunteering his time for the event. SF State’s first Take Your Bicycle to School Day last October saw some 130 students bring their bicycles to the quad, according to ECO Students, the campus group of environmentally conscious students and the event’s organizer.
