Josue Plaza

Bike repairs can be expensive, but Texas State provides an alternative that many students may not know. Josue Plaza has more in this Bobcat Update.

As the quad fills with students moving to and from classes, Peter Vogt and David Ross set up their equipment. A line of various types of bicycles and tools surround them. Vogt and Ross come with one goal in mind, letting students and faculty know about The Bike Cave.

Funded by Transportation Services, The Bike Cave assists students by making repairs, often for free, while teaching them proper bicycle maintenance and how they can do it themselves. The main shop, in Room 100 of the Colorado Building, is at a convenient location for many Bobcats.

Workers and volunteers at The Bike Cave are happy to help their fellow students with bicycle repairs. Don't own a bike? No problem. You can purchase one from The Bike Cave's re-cycled stock, a collection of bikes that have been abandoned, but are still guaranteed to get you around campus.

The Bike Cave also provides a wealth of information for students new to biking. For example, you can learn how to register your bike with the university police department. Having the bike on file can be very helpful in case it's ever stolen. For Bobcat Update, I'm Josue Plaza.
