Welcome!
recycles is back for Spring! Starting April 1st, at a recycles station near you
recycles, an initiative of the Office of Sustainability, is the
University of Chicago's bike share program. The program currently has a
total of 35 bikes, including one tandem, at five locations around campus. It
is available to U of C students, faculty, staff, and alumni with a
valid CNetID. A partnership with Blackstone Bicycle Works, a local nonprofit organization that mentors youth in the neighborhood, recycles’ fleet of refurbished bicycles and relatively low-tech design enables us to offer it for free to users.
Registration is easy and takes only a few minutes. Once you have registered, you will receive various program materials via email. Please take the time to review them. A few key points to note:
