When you walk across campus, you're likely to have someone whiz by on wheels. Bikers and skateboarders are part of the college environment. Frank Makri has more in this Bobcat Update.

Some students enjoy the convenience of biking or skating to class. It's a fast way to get where you need to go. But on a crowded campus, like Texas State's, bikers and skateboarders aren't always welcomed.
SB: Garrett…10 seconds…"High class"
But skaters counter that they are less likely to get in other students' way and they don't deserve to be negatively stereotyped.
SB: Flowers…7 seconds…"Hoodlums"
Some students are willing to cut both groups some slack.
SB: Murdock…7 seconds…"Respectful"
Stand Up: Makri…12 seconds…"Policy"
U-P-D has had issues with skateboarders performing tricks on campus, but they realize that bikers cause damage as well.
SB: Officer Stewart…8 seconds…"Bike tricks" Police also receive complaints about skateboarders and cyclists using ramps on campus designed for handicapped accessibility. Those who do can be fined. For Bobcat Update, I'm Frank Makri.
