Semester-long checkouts for spring 2009 can be picked up from our campus bike shop beginning Friday, January 16, between 1-6 p.m.
Departmental Blue Bikes offer faculty and staff an opportunity to increase physical activity during regular working hours, reduce traffic on and around campus, and set a positive social example to students and community concerning environmental responsibility.
Thanks to a very generous donation from TIAA-Cref, we were able to dramatically expand our Blue Bike fleet in the fall of 2007, when we added 25 brand new bicycles to our fleet.
Departmental Blue Bikes are available to any UK department to use for up to one semester. Each bike is equipped with a rack, basket, and lock. Each Departmental Blue Bike will receive regular maintenance from the Wildcat Wheels Bike Library staff mechanics. To reserve a Blue Bike for your department, please e-mail wildcatwheels@gmail.com.
The Campus Bike Shop is available to all UK students, faculty, and staff to work on personal bikes or to volunteer and work on "Yellow Bikes" for the program. We are always seeking volunteers. No experience is necessary. Come and learn how the wonderful bike works. If you're interested, please e-mail wildcatwheels@gmail.com
