	Originally started in 2001 to test what effect the availability of bicycles would have on the Claremont College community, Pitzer College’s Green Bike Program is now a highly efficient and renowned staple of the Claremont Colleges. The program was started by ~~three young men~~ who decided to service ten bicycles and lend them out to members of the Pitzer College community in order to combat the Los Angeles car culture. Their hope was that, by making bicycles accessible and free, students and faculty would decrease car use. As it turned out, Pitzer community members who normally drove around the square mile enclosure of the campus were happy to replace gasoline with their own leg power and commute via bicycle. This positive reception promoted the expansion of the program. A space was set up in a dormitory basement where volunteers could repair the bicycles that were discarded by seniors after their last semester at college and then redistribute them to current students. A bi-annual bike raffle was implemented in order to fairly distribute free bicycles to interested students. As the program progressed the three volunteers and ten bicycles grew and the small workspace was upgraded.
