Bicycle Transportation Program

Long Beach, CA, home of the nation’s first BikeStation, has an ideal climate (moderate temperatures & low rainfall) and terrain (relatively flat) for bike riding. CSULB President Alexander is personally committed to making bicycle transportation a safe and accessible option for all CSULB students, faculty and staff.

Bicycle License, Theft Prevention and Recovery

We strongly recommend you use a U-LOCK rather than a chain or cable lock to protect your bike.

Registration information, including serial number, is available to law enforcement agencies and increases the likelihood of your bike being found and returned in the event it is stolen.

How do I obtain a bicycle license? Contact University Police at (562) 985-4101 or Detective Alex Mendoza directly at(562) 985-2302. The cost for a license is $2.00 for each bicycle licensed. If available, please bring proof of purchase to make registration easier.

Program Developments

  • Use the new Atherton Street Bike Lane to get to Campus, the RLC, or the San Gabriel River Bike Path!
  • City of Long Beach and CSULB Bike Share with Solar-Powered Bike Kiosks, has been recommended for funding.

    Installation throughout CSULB, the RLC, Belmont Shore and Downtown Long Beach may begin next Fall, 2010. This would allow students, faculty and staff to check out a bike to get around campus, attend off-site meetings, or run errands.
