Postings from resident directors and students currently abroad, important announcements and useful infomation for planning your study abroad experience.

This entry was inspired by Holly, our Paris Director, who always takes the students on a bike tour of Paris at the beginning of their program (weather permitting of course).

More and more Americans have discovered what the rest of the world already knows—bicycles are great for the environment and your health! If you are a cyclist and want to keep up with your bike riding while abroad, here are some resources for you.
 
Travel with Bicycles (wwwbikeaccess.net)
This site offers information, links, and reader feedback on bike rentals and traveling with your bikes on planes and trains (we do not recommend you take your bike with you—safer to rent/buy one in Europe).
 
Florence by Bike (www.florencebybike.com)
Sells single and 18 speed bikes at reasonable prices and will even buy them back (sliding scale) within a 120 day period. 
 
In addition to holidays, they also provide bike rentals for Granada.
