The reason why it is important that it is a college that I work at is because I have to wear a suit, and there is no driving onto campus. I have to walk or take a bus once I get here, and being that I do my grad teaching and studies at several building across campus it would be nice to be able to bring my bike to work to do so. Afterall, bikes are the IDEAL way to get around here if you don't need to dress professionally.
I can't do this, however, because there are so many hills on my way to work and on the campus itself, that I would be drenched in sweat by the time I got there. And no, I cannot pack a 3 piece suit while riding a bike to work. They don't store well in a backpack...
And that is why this being a college town / full of hills is important.
