Want to ride your bike to work from Moscow, but only have enough mojo for one direction?

Do you want to ride your bike to work occasionally, but only one way, rather than round trip?

Or maybe you are just generally aggravated by the daily commute from Moscow and looking to ditch your car, either for the summer or permanently.

You can join the motor pool van from Moscow to WSU as an occasional or full time rider for the summer, or hop on the van as a permanent full-time rider starting July 1.

During the summer the van leaves Moscow from the Eastside Marketplace at 6:55 a.m. and picks up riders at the Moscow Post Office at 7:00 am and the Palouse Empire Mall at 7:05 am, arriving on campus by 7:20 a.m. Departure from campus is at 4:10 p.m. While on campus the van is parked in the Fine Arts Building garage.

During the academic year the van leaves the Eastside Marketplace at 7:25 a.m., Post Office at 7:30 a.m., and Palouse Mall at 7:35 a.m., arriving on campus by 7:50 a.m. Departure from the Fine Arts garage is at 5:10 p.m.

Riders must be WSU students, staff or faculty members. Cost for a full time rider is $60-$70 per month. Daily rides cost $3.

The van has room for three bikes in the back, and only two regular cyclists who ride the van one direction.

For more details and to schedule a free trial ride email Eric Nilsson in Biological Sciences, nilsson@wsu.edu.
