Increased pedaling due to more than just nice weather

While Syracuse has had its share of warm weather this fall, that is not the only reason for increased bikes on campus.

Twenty years ago, Syracuse University had around 30 bike racks. Today, bikers in the university community can choose to park at one of 238 locations throughout the main and south campuses, according to James Thompson, manager of crime prevention for the SU Department of Public Safety. On busy days, bikers have also helped themselves to various railings, sign posts and fences to lock up to.

Syracuse police monitor Euclid Avenue despite student attendance at SU Showcase events on campus.

It was just another Monday on Euclid Avenue in Syracuse on April 19. Syracuse University students walked to and from class — some dragging their legs — while others quickly darted between slow walkers to avoid being late.  

One force behind the team

DPS Cpl. Andy Clary doesn't help student athletes out when they're in trouble. He's there to prevent the trouble.

Andy Clary watches from behind the basket as Syracuse basketball star Kris Joseph launches a 3-pointer on the practice court of the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center.

The shot bounces off the rim, not exactly the swoosh that Joseph intended. Clary smiles and says, "Oh boy," in a jokingly disappointed tone. But Clary is not a graduate assistant or a Syracuse basketball official -- he is a cop.
