Mobilebikeman.com services UCAR Blue Bikes in Boulder, Colorado.
Both Mobilebikeman.com and UCAR value recycling, sustainability, and support of local business. And of course, we both love bicycles. Thus, it is a great match.
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research is a nonprofit consortium of more than 100 colleges and universities. They provide research and training in the atmospheric and Earth system sciences. UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research with sponsorship by the National Science Foundation.
UCAR created a Transportation Alternative Program. As part of the TAP program, the UCAR Boulder campus provides Blue Bikes for employees, worldwide research visitors, and interns. That’s two-wheel with a view, no charge! It’s a planet-friendly way to get around the many campus buildings. But it’s also a great way to explore the town, or try out bicycling for the first time.
Mobilebikeman.com Services UCAR Blue Bikes
Mobilebikeman.com services UCAR Blue Bikes by providing regular maintenance, tune ups, and safety checks for all the bikes. Many bikes were built just for UCAR to be as commuter-friendly as possible.
When bikes are donated or abandoned on campus, they find a new life as a Blue Bike. With a tune up and a little blue paint, the bike becomes a part of the fleet. Blue Bikes have been part of the UCAR/NCAR community for fourteen years! It’s a great example of how UCAR values sustainability and recycling.
When Mobilebikeman.com services UCAR Blue Bikes, we get to take the mobile bike shop to Boulder. Often, the color of the sky matches the color of the bikes.
It is so cool to see people from all over the world on the campuses, looking up at the sky and stars.
Recycling and Sustainability
Mobilebikeman.com had a love-at-first-sight connection with UCAR. We both love recycling, supporting the community, and of course bicycles!
Some of the Blue Bikes are so well-loved that they have reached retirement. When Mobilebikeman.com services UCAR Blue Bikes, we inventory the useful parts from the “retiring” bikes. Then we use these parts to help fix up the Blue Bikes still in action. We also recycle all of the used tubes. This gives the mobile bike repair team the opportunity to practice recycling and sustainability, too.
Mobilebikeman.com is very happy to support the UCAR Blue Bike Program.
Happy Riding! 🙂
