CCE Bicycles
The CCE has a small number of bikes that can be used free of charge for a day by students to get to and from local non-profits, schools, etc. for community engagement. Email the CCE, cce@coloradocollege.edu if you're interested in reserving a bike.
CC Outdoor Education Bikes
Outdoor Education has a fleet of e-bikes and "fat" bikes (mountain bikes) for low-cost rentals, available during Gear House hours. These fleets cater to group rentals, but can be rented by individuals if available. If you own your own bicycle, the Bike & Ski Co-op is available to support your equipment maintenance needs. The Co-op also has U-locks, bike tubes, and tires for sale. Email outdoored@coloradocollege.edu with questions.
