The UCSC Bike Library is a bike lending program designed to increase bicycle ridership, safety, and awareness on the UC Santa Cruz campus and among students in the Santa Cruz community. The Bike Library is brought to you by The Student Environmental Center's Transportation Campaign. We are a bike share program created, designed, and directed by students. Our mission is to make bikes accessible to

students, faculty, and staff of UCSC to promote transportation sustainability and self-sufficiency. We believe that financial limitations should not be a barrier and provide our services free of charge. The Bike Library is a student-initiated project and has been funded thus far by the Campus Sustainability Council through a student fee designed to fund seed projects supporting campus sustainability. We have 30 Kona bikes available to be checked out for free to eligible applicants at the beginning of each quarter. We choose applicants at the beginning of each quarter and get bikes out by the second week so send your application well in advance. Applications include a 500-700 word explanation of why they need a bicycle, and each essay is assessed based on a guiding rubric. Borrowing a bike is completely free of charge in order to provide equal access to bicycling for students who express financial need. Recipients also receive a helmet, lock, and set of lights to borrow.
