The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ bikeshare program is back for the warmer weather. The bikes are located in four locations on the main campus. Visit the bikeshare website to find a location near you. Bikes can go to any destination but need to be returned to one of the four (C4, Lecture Hall, Hinman and East Gym) bike hubs when the ride is complete. A fee will be charged for bikes left outside of the designated areas. 

To ride, you will need to download the free Koloni app to join and reserve. The app will then provide instructions on how to unlock a bike. Bikes may be reserved at no charge by students, faculty and staff for two hours a day. It will cost $5 an hour after the free period.
