Green Bikes
A page within Rec Sports
The Green Bike program is a bicycle recycling program supported by UWL's Green Fund and implemented by UWL Outdoor Connection.
How it Works
Renting a Green Bike
If you are UWL student, you can rent a Green Bike! The concept is simple, pay the affordable rental fee & deposit and keep the bike for as long as you like! It only costs $25 to rent a Green Bike and lock. Payment of a $25-$100 deposit (depending on the quality of the bike) is also required. Deposits will be returned when the bike and lock is returned. Just complete the request form and then stop by Outdoor Connection to view the available bikes and find your ride.
Bike Donations, Recycling & Sourcing
We source our bikes from those abandoned on campus and in the local community. In addition, we take donations of adult bikes that are in repairable condition. To make a donation, complete the donation form in advance of dropping off the bike. Once we receive the bikes, we will repair them so they are in safe and operable condition or strip them for usable parts and recycle the remaining metal rather than throwing it away.

Benefits
The Green Bike program promotes better health, less automobile traffic congestion, cleaner air, fewer parking problems, and keeping waste out of the waste removal system.
History
The UWL's Environmental Council started the Green Bike program in 2004. Originally, council members and volunteers fixed up old donated bikes, painted them green, and released them to function as free community bikes. Currently, the program is housed in the Outdoor Connection. The program has refurbished and rented over 500 bikes and recycled more than 60,000 pounds of metal!
