Campus Bike Racks

I go to school in Houghton, Michigan which has a large biking community. Around the school and the town there is a significant shortage of bike racks. This is a problem when you bike to class and the majority of the racks are full. People then resort to locking their bikes to trees, signs and other objects that can be damaged from unintentional use. If campuses would have larger bike racks it would encourage more people to bike and would have the added benefit of being better for the environment. Along these lines they should also have more covered bike racks so it is more pleasant biking in inclement weather.
