Bike Share

Tech’s Bike Share program is funded through the student Green Fee. Not only does this provide an efficient way to navigate around campus, but is also an easy way to practice sustainability, conserve gas, and encourage physical activity.  

Request Bike

The Bike Share program currently allows students to check out bikes from the Fitness Center for a two-week period. With the bicycle, the student is provided with a helmet and bike lock. The rental form for the bike package is available through the bottom of the Eagle Outdoors' equipment rental form: Bike Share Rental Form

Bike-related amenities on campus include bike racks at all buildings and bike repair stands available to students at various locations across campus.
