UC Santa Cruz Shuttle Service  (.31 miles - Campus Entrance)

Bicycles:  Being an ecologically and environmentally minded city and "college town", Santa Cruz boasts an avid cycling community ranging from dedicated commute riders to free-wheeling off-road adventurers.  The area offers a large number of bicycle shops tailored to the various needs of riders. The City and County are continuously adding dedicated bike lanes to our public roadways.  Newcomers should be aware, however, that getting to Baytree from the downtown area is an uphill climb.  Baytree sits about 260ft above sea level, and about 220ft above the center of town.  Peddling from Baytree to the middle of the UCSC campus climbs about 500 vertical feet in the space of about 1.5 miles.  It's great exercise, but not something one should do on a whim.  Fortunately, most city buses and campus shuttles are equipped with bike racks.  The UCSC campus also runs a bike shuttle service on weekdays.
