Bike Rentals

The Basic Needs, Sustainability & Leadership Bike Program aims to increase access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable transportation. Through the integration of long-term bicycle loans, education, and recreation, the Bike Program will enhance the physical and cultural development of students. PCC Students can rent a bike for $15 per term! Bikes may be checked out for the duration of one or a maximum of three consecutive terms. Our bike fleet includes a mix of mountain and hybrid-style bikes equipped with fenders, a rack, lights, a bell, and a sturdy U-Lock. Students who rent a bike also receive a helmet to keep!  Apply for a bike rental.
