All full time students, faculty and staff are now eligible for a free Boulder B-cycle annual membership, an $88 retail value. The free memberships are made possible by a partnership between the CU Environmental Center and CU Transportation Services with Boulder B-cycle, a Boulder-based bikesharing nonprofit.
The yearlong membership provides unlimited rides of up to 60 minutes. Riders will be charged the normal B-cycle hourly rate for rides over 60 minutes and will need to renew their eligible CU credentials annually in the B-cycle app.

Boulder B-cycle's system of 300 bikes at over 40 stations around Boulder includes 13 stations serving CU's Boulder campuses. Members of the program can check out bikes from any station and check them in at another station. The program complements the campus existing transportation system and provides community members a healthy and convenient way to get around town.
