BIKING
George Mason University encourages students, employees, and anyone else coming to campus to leave their car at home and ride their bike! Or, if you live too far from campus to ride in then bring your bike along anyway and enjoy riding it while you are on campus.
There are bike racks located all over the Fairfax Campus, the Arlington Campus, and the Prince William Campus. As the number of bikes on campus continues to increase we are adding more bike racks to keep up with the demand.
