I saw that story.  After reading it, I was much happier with the situation we 
have UCSD.  We have an active Pedal Club that encourages staff and students 
to use bicycles not only to get to campus but also to get around campus.  There 
is even the Triton Bike program that provides departments with bikes for 
on-campus transportation.  UCSD also has an on Campus Bike shop run by the 
university... 

Brian Parent and I also able provide input in the general campus planning as 
well as very specific issues.  Pedal Club members get 10 day free 
parking/quarter, a nice perk, and Brian has been able to include a "self-teaching bicycle 
safety quiz" as part of the Pedal Club prerequisites.  

While there is the momentum of a bureaucracy that slows progress, I think 
there is a genuine interest at UCSD in increasing the role cycling plays in the 
transportation solution for the future...
