The Clean Mobility Project offered members a chance to compete for bragging rights and tickets to the final Skyride as part of the Go Bike Bike Month Battle in May. While Canisius community members walked, ran, rode, or used public transportation to be a part of the challenge, we are pleased to cheer on the final two competing groups from the City of Buffalo and NFTA!
All bicyclists are invited to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus’ Buffalo Bike to Work Day on Thursday, June 4, from 7:00 to 10:00 AM. Please RSVP using the QR code on the flyer and join in the fun.
Canisius University is a proud anchor institution for the Clean Mobility Project and continue to support the outstanding work of Go Buffalo Niagara.

As participants in the Clean Mobility Project, Canisius University has two wonderful opportunities to explore our region by bike during National Bike Month and all year: 1) Through the use of Reddy Bikes and 2) By signing up for the weekly GoBike Bike Month Battle (earn points walking, running or taking mass transit!).
Here is more information about the Reddy Bikeshare memberships:
“To celebrate, we’re continue offer FREE annual memberships to Reddy Bikeshare for all Canisius faculty, staff, and students (a $40 value)!
With your membership, you’ll get access not just to the red bikes located at the stations around campus, but to hundreds of Reddy bikes and Reddy+ e-bikes across Buffalo and Niagara Falls—making it easy to get around, explore, or simply enjoy a ride, whenever it fits your day.
Why try bikeshare?
Reddy Bikeshare is a convenient, flexible way to ride without the need to own or maintain a bike. Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or just getting outside, bikeshare makes it simple:
- Take a quick ride on your lunch break for fresh air and exercise
- Check if there’s a station near your home and try biking to campus
- Explore new neighborhoods, parks, and waterfront areas
- Skip the hassle of storage, upkeep, and repairs
How it works:
- Sign up using this exclusive link for Canisius campus members: https://l.ead.me/bgA5Je
- Unlock a bike at any Reddy station using the Social Bicycles app
- Ride to your destination and return it to any station in the network
FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I really get it for free?
Yes—the $40 annual membership fee is fully covered for Canisius campus members.
Are there any costs?
You’ll only pay for the time you ride:
- Standard bikes: $0.01 per minute
- Reddy+ e-bikes: $0.10 per minute
Why do I need a credit card?
A credit card is required to start your account and cover any usage fees, but you won’t be charged for the membership itself.
Where can I ride?
Anywhere within the Reddy Bikeshare system! You can pick up and drop off bikes at stations throughout Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Absolutely—bikeshare is designed for all experience levels. You can ride at your own pace and choose routes that feel comfortable.
Sign up today and celebrate Bike Month your way—whether it’s a quick spin, a new commute, or a weekend adventure.”

As part of their coursework, students in HON376 Education in Museums and Zoos created information panels and engaging learning activities inspired by their favorite stuffed animals, and the content is now entitled “Stuffed Animal Zoo on View: The Wonders of the Animal Kingdom.”
Check out this exhibit in the Student Gallery in the Richard E. Winter ’42 Student Center (second floor near the student club rooms). It will be on view until next semester.

Charlie T. Garling, the Delaware North Director of Learning & Creativity at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, visited Professor Yvonne Widenor’s Honors class last month to describe the ways in which he and his team created and implemented the Creative Commons space at the museum. In a wonderfully detailed and dynamic presentation, students followed the steps taken to conceive, design, and create activities that incorporate various methods of play and engagement with the Museum’s collection in this area, and they were inspired by Charlie’s enthusiasm for active learning practices.
Later in the semester, some of these students will visit the Museum to investigate not only the Creative Commons and join in the playful activities but also explore the recently expanded exhibition spaces and attend other events that have transformed the AKG into a community hub that invites all members of our community to connect with one another and a multitude of artistic practices.
Below is a photo of students in the class with Charlie Garling in the center.
