Who is eligible for the Bicycle Programs?
Students, faculty, and staff of the University are eligible to participate in these programs.
What's the difference between "Cat Cycles" and "Blue Bikes"?
With "Cat Cycles" you sign out a bike for your exclusive short-term use. With "Blue Bikes", your department is actually buying the bike to use as the department likes.
How much do the programs cost?
Signing out and using a Cat Cycle is free. Your only cost would be if the bicycle were damaged while signed out to you. The Blue Bikes give you an opportunity to purchase a quality bike ideal for campus use.
How do I go about signing out a Cat Cycle?
Come to the UNH Visitor Information Center, on Mast Road (near Lot A). You'll be given a simple sign-out form that is kept on file to expedite future sign-outs. You will sign a form listing the terms and conditions of the program, and will be issued a bicycle with a combination lock for your use for a period of up to a week. At the end of the week, you return the bicycle, or you may sign it out again.
How do I go about buying a Blue Bike for my department?
Call the Office of Sustainability Programs at 862-4088, and they will get you started.
What is the riding range of my borrowed Cat Cycle?
You may ride as far as you like, on or off campus, as long as it is returned in good shape by the scheduled time.
