Many students find that biking is the easiest and cheapest way to get around Bloomington.
Check under Bicycle in the yellow pages of the telephone directory for stores that specialize in bicycles and bike repairs. Additionally, used bikes can be found for sale throughout the year. Keep your eyes open for signs in dorms, classified ads in the IDS and the Herald-Times . Additionally, the IU Police Department holds an auction twice a year to sell confiscated bikes. Once you buy a bike, you must register it and obtain a parking permit either at Parking Operations , located in Franklin Hall 006, or, if you live in a dorm, at your residence hall center desk.
