Question 1

What's the advantage of living 10 minutes by bike from UCSC?

Accepted Answer

You get access to more apartment options, often at lower prices, while still having a quick commute. A 10-minute bike ride is faster than driving and parking during busy times.

Question 2

What if it rains or I can't bike one day?

Accepted Answer

Most areas within 10 minutes biking distance are also accessible by bus or rideshare. Some students keep a bus pass as backup, or the walk (about 30-40 minutes) is doable in good weather.

Question 3

Do I need an expensive bike?

Accepted Answer

No, a basic single-speed or 3-speed bike works well for most campus commutes. Many students use affordable used bikes. If your route is hilly, consider a bike with gears or an e-bike.
