Open M-F, 12:00 to 5:00 pm in the Outdoor Program Barn (18th and University), the UO Bike Program is a resource for all things bicycle to the campus community. Head to the shop any time they’re open and get help fixing your bike for free.
They are here to help connect UO Students to bicycles. They loan commute-ready bike for a term, or for a day. They can help you learn to fix your own bike in our free, DIY workshop. They can advise throughout your bike buying process.
The UO Bike Program launched in September 2008 (as the Bike Loan Program) to increase access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable transportation. Through the integration of long-term bicycle loans, education, and recreation, the UO Bike Program will enhance the physical and cultural development of students. As a resource for alternative transportation, they will minimize our campus and community environmental impact.
The Bike Program is administered through the EMU Outdoor Program (OP). The Bike Program is an important step in the University of Oregon’s commitment to sustainability and reducing our impact on the environment.
