The rental fleet has been updated with new Kona Dew Plus hybrid bikes! These are great bikes for riding on campus, around town, or any of the nearby bike paths in Boulder!
Semester Rentals are back for Spring 2023!
- A semester rental bike costs $50 per semester, with a $200 deposit. The deposit will be refunded on the final return of the bike in good condition.
- A U-lock is included as part of the rental.
- You'll need your 9 digit Student ID # and a Buff OneCard to rent a bike.
- Credit/debit only. No cash or checks will be accepted.
- Bikes are first come first serve, with rentals usually taking place the first week of each semester (weather depending).
- Bikes must be returned at the end of each semester. Even if re-renting for another semester, we need to see the bike and do basic maintenance before sending the bike out again.
- A non-returned bike will reported to CU Police and the Office of Student Conduct.
- Another great option, and now with electric bikes, is the BCycle bike sharing. Students recieve a free membership.
Most stolen bikes were improperly locked. Watch the video below to learn how to properly lock to CU bike racks and prevent your rental from being stolen.

Our mission is to promote sustainability on campus by growing the bicycle culture and making bikes easily accessible at the University of Colorado Boulder. We contribute to this culture by providing a bicycle to any student who is in need of a bike for a semester (while supplies last).

Return Your Rental
--If you are unable to cash a US issued check please e-mail semesterrental@colorado.edu to set-up an appointment--
