You asked and we listened! Due to popular demand, Bike Recycling Day will be returning on Thursday, May 6, to the northeast corner of the Parking Structure 8 rooftop as part of UCLA Bike Month. Members of the UCLA community with a valid BruinCard will have an opportunity to receive a used bike or bike parts for FREE.
