New Study Bikes at the Leddy

Have you ever found yourself torn between studying and staying fit?  Well the Leddy Library has the solution for you!  We’ve installed three new study bikes, so you can get your work done while getting a work out!
 
Stationary bikes with attached desks have been set up along the northern window in the Leddy Library Main building.  Use will be on a first-come, first-served basis.  These bikes allow users to exercise the body as well as the mind even during the busiest times of the semester. 
 

You can wait for the white rabbit or you can follow the Leddy Library!
