What's stopping YOU from riding your BIKE to school?! Oh, you don't have a bike? Let us fix that! Borrow one from ASPCC for $15 per term! Bikes may be checked out for the duration of one or a maximum of three consecutive terms.

The Bike Program (or the Bike Loan Program) is the newest program from ASPCC Cascade.

  2. Your information will be verified to determine eligibility – you must be a Cascade Student taking at least 6 credits and in good standing with the college to qualify.
  3. Waiting lists generally exist. You will be notified when your name comes up on the waiting list.
    1. The Bike Program requires students maintain academic eligibility.

The ASPCC Cascade Bike Program launched in January 12, 2012 to increase access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable transportation. Through the integration of long-term bicycle loans, education, and recreation, the Cascade Bike Program will enhance the physical and cultural development of students. As a resource for alternative transportation, we will minimize our campus and community environmental impact.

We are here to help connect PCC Cascade Students to bicycles. We can loan you a commute-ready bike for a term, or consecutive terms. Our local partners can help you learn to fix your own bike in free, DIY workshops. We can give you awesome volunteer opportunities. The Bike Program is administered through ASPCC Cascade. The Bike Program is an important step in the PCC’s commitment to sustainability and reducing our impact on the environment.

Bikes may be checked out for the duration of one or a maximum of three consecutive terms. A usage fee of $15 per term will be due at the time of the contract/check out.

Financial Holds: Bicycles are valued at $400 with their accessories. If not returned, a $400 hold will be placed on borrower’s account to cover the replacement expenses of the lost or damaged bicycle or accessories.
