Biking

Biking is a convenient and sustainable way to get to and around campus. UNC Asheville supports cycling by providing bike racks, designated storage areas, and connections to local bike routes that link campus with the surrounding community.

Bicycle Parking

Bicycles must be parked in bicycle racks. Do not ride bicycles on sidewalks at any time. When parking, do not block walkways, nor attach bicycles to trees, signposts, handrails, or to anything other than bicycle racks. Bicycles that are repeatedly parked illegally may be temporarily confiscated or locked in place. UNC-Asheville assumes no liability for damages to bicycles, bicycle locks, or any other bicycle equipment that may occur during confiscation.

Bicycle Registration

It is recommended that you register your bicycle with University Police using the Property Registration Form or by visiting Weizenblatt Hall during regular business hours, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. If you choose to visit Weizenblatt Hall with your bicycle, Public Safety employees can provide you with a registration sticker for easy identification.

Report missing or stolen bicycles to University Police immediately by calling 828.232.5000.

Walking

UNC Asheville’s walkable campus connects residence halls, academic buildings, dining, and student spaces with sidewalks, paths, and pedestrian-friendly routes. Whether heading to class, meeting friends, or enjoying the campus environment, walking is a convenient and healthy way to move through campus.

Campus Walking Trails

From short and simple to more adventurous off-pavement excursions, the on and off-campus walking trails surrounding UNC Asheville offer a variety of courses to suit your style and fitness goals. The University Heights loop, Glen Creek greenway on W.T. Weaver Boulevard, Reed Creek greenway on Broadway, and Botanical Gardens are available all day for faculty, staff, students, and the community for free.

Please be safe along the trails and remember:

• Trails are for walkers only. Bicycles are not permitted.
• Shoes must be worn in all areas.
• Children must be supervised at all times.
• Trails close promptly after dark.
• All dogs must be on leash per University policy and Asheville City ordinance 3-27.
• Many trails traverse through natural, wooded areas. Walkers may encounter exposed roots, damp surfaces, slippery leaves, and wildlife. Although easily avoided, care should be taken to steer clear of Poison Ivy/Oak.

Should emergencies occur along the trail, use a nearby emergency phone or call UNC Asheville Police at 828.232.5000.
