Nuts and Bolts

Complete this form and indicate if you wish to borrow a bike, helmet, and/or bike lock. Include your height and what day you are coming to pick it up (choose from list).
Fall 2025 bike pickup days are: 8/26 Tue 1:30-3:30; 8/29 Fri 11-1; and 8/30 Sat 12-2. Commit to a date to pickup your bike. Be sure to BRING your Banner ID card, a helmet and a bike lock with you, if you aren't borrowing one. You will be assigned a bike at that time based on availability and your height.

ALL bikes are due back on Reading Day at the end of semester. If you wish for an extension, you must arrange for one with Sara McIntyre. She may ask you to bring it by her office so she can lay eyes on it before extending your loan.
YOU are responsible for care and maintenance of the bike while it is checked out to you. This includes fixing flats and tuneups. Basic bicycle maintenance support is offered through the SOP (Outing Program) via their student bike shop.
There are FINES: for bikes returned late ($5/day for up to 8 days); bikes returned damaged (depends on damages); and/or bikes not returned and assumed lost ($400-600).
If your bike goes MISSING - you must contact Sara McIntyre to get its info and report it stolen/lost to SPD. You are still RESPONSIBLE for the bike and may incur fines. We highly recommend you actively search for your library bike.
All bikes receive a routine maintenance check and repairs by the Sustainability bike shop crew and/or Woody’s Bicycles prior to being lent out each semester. Sustain Sewanee coordinates this maintenance.
Both hybrid style (commuter) bikes and mountain bikes are available through the bike lending library. Each bike is different and unique so you can try different brands and styles over time. It also means each borrowing experience may be different.
