Duke Bikes
Program lets students borrow bikes for free to commute, exercise or just have fun.
A bike-loan program, Duke Bikes is a partnership between Duke students and university departments to provide undergraduate, graduate and professional students with no-cost options for exercise, adventure and campus commuting. This collaborative effort also provides a tangible example of several of Duke's efforts to promote sustainability, alternative transportation and health.
Duke Bikes works much like checking out a library book. All you need is your DukeCard and pedal power. The fleet includes 21-speed Trek mountain and hybrid bikes, and newly purchased cargo bikes that can tote up to 110 lbs of weight on the back. All bikes also come equipped with adjustable seats, lights and flashers.
Borrow your bike today at the Outpost adventure gear station under the Bryan Center Plaza on West Campus, or go online to request your wheels and to renew. Get to the Outpost by descending the stairs near Pauly Dogs hot dog stand on the Bryan Center Plaza.
Any Duke student, faculty or staff member may also bring his or her bike to the Outpost for tune-ups or repairs during the academic school year. The Outpost cannot currently repair bikes over the summer. Parts cost but the repair is free.
Enjoy your ride!
