I have a confession: I've never actually ridden one of the infamous yellow Ofo bikes that magically appeared on the Texas A&M campus early this past spring semester. And even though I also wasn't the biggest fan of them throughout their stint here, the number of memes and punch lines that have resulted because of them allowed Ofos to meld itself into Aggie culture.

So when I learned the Ofo bikes would not be returning to campus with us next semester, I was admittedly disappointed, enough so that I decided to dedicate this article to them. I give you, "The Ofo War Hymn."

Good-bye to Ofo bikes on campus
So long to the yellow and the wheels
Good luck to dear old Aggie Spirit buses
They are now our only form of transportation

"We are a bike friendly campus"
That is the song they sing so well
So good-bye to Ofo bikes on campus
We're going to miss you all when
We-go-to-class
When-we-go-to-class
Crowded Buses Texas A&M!

*Repeat chorus*

Bring the Ofos back

(Repeat x3)

NOW

*insert awkward pause no one knows what to do with here*

Ofos are back on campus

(Repeat x3)

YAY!

Not to worry, Texas A&M released a statement saying the university plans to partner with a similar bike company called Veoride starting in 2019, but I think we can all agree we're going to miss those bright yellow eyesores at least a little.
