And by adding more bicycle racks or lanes, young bicyclists could easily find space for parking as the students could feel safer. Conversely, the faculty and the school administrative personnel think that it’s more significant to properly educate students about bike and traffic safety that could help the school campus to reduce bike-related issues and control the problem at ease. ...
