Post from Elizabeth Pappas

This week (Nov. 28- Dec. 2) we made sure all of our data was correct and went over our findings together as a group in order to make a presentation. We looked at our data sets that we found from the bike chalking, and talked about what these findings meant. We found that the bike racks by Bellsouth and the business center are largely used for storage, while the ones by Maybank/RSS were used more frequently and did not remain as long. Our group then put together a presentation during which we went over the procedures of both parts of our projects, and also how our findings contribute to sustainability on campus. Overall, we were all happy with the work we did, although we don’t have a final product yet (the GIS map is being worked on), we found out a lot about campus bike use through our findings and hopefully our data can be used in order to create a more sustainable future for bikers on CofC’s campus.
