CatSU unveils Bike Park & Repair Station, promoting sustainable transportation on campus

The Catanduanes State University (CatSU) has recently unveiled the CatSU Recycled Bike Park and Repair Station, a collaborative effort among CatSU, Catanduanes Cyclist United (CCU), and Sinag Kabataan.

Led by CatSU alumnus Mr. Fred Gianan, the project has been successfully completed and is now ready to serve the CatSU community.

The idea for the Bike Park and Repair Station was presented by Gianan to CatSU President Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza during a visit in February. Dr. Azanza immediately showed support and directed Gianan to Engr. Benjamin Hannycel Nuyda, the Planning and Development Services Director and Building and Grounds Services (BGS) Director. This collaboration reflects CatSU's commitment to promoting sustainable initiatives and supporting the interests of the community.

Engr. Nuyda, leveraging his expertise and engagement with various university stakeholders, proposed using metal scrap from CatSU as the foundation for the Bike Park. This innovative approach not only repurposes materials but also contributes to the campus's eco-friendly atmosphere.

"The Bike Park and Repair Station will greatly benefit the CatSU community by providing a dedicated space for cyclists and promoting an active lifestyle," shared Engr. Nuyda.

He emphasized that the repair station will be a valuable resource for bike maintenance and repairs, ensuring that cyclists on campus have the necessary support.

Gianan expressed his gratitude to Dr. Azanza, Engr. Nuyda, Mr. Florian Avila (CCU President), and the CatSU student volunteers for their valuable contributions to the project. Their assistance, efforts, and collaboration have been instrumental in the successful establishment of the Bike Park and Repair Station.

Dr. Azanza commended Engr. Nuyda, Gianan, and Avila for their outstanding work.

"This initiative is a testament to CatSU's commitment to sustainability and providing facilities that enhance the campus experience for our beloved CatSUans."

He also extended his congratulations to Gianan for his leadership in bringing the project to fruition. #CIV
