Rec-Cycles

Rec-Cycles is a free, bicycle-lending library for UMass Lowell students, faculty and staff. It is our mission to promote the development of healthy lifestyles and bicycling as an attractive and sustainable mode of transportation for the UMass Lowell community. We strive to accomplish this by providing high-quality cycling equipment and services that will encourage an environmentally friendly commute between campuses as well as throughout the city of Lowell.

Rec-Cycles is a collaboration between the School of Health and Environment, University Facilities, and the Department of Campus Recreation as part of the Healthy Campus Initiative. 

Rec-Cycles is free and fun and using bicycles is a lot better than sitting in traffic.
