Have You Been Zapped?

The Bike Center is the base for the ZAP Program - an innovative RFID system, which permits bicyclists, who install an identity tag on their bikes, to earn benefits and incentives, such as reduced costs for tune-ups and commuter goods by simply validating their bike trips. Learn more.

Bike Sharing With Nice Ride

Bicycles can be checked out from public kiosks and returned to any other Nice Ride location. See campus locations. The program runs from April through November. For more details, visit the Nice Ride Website.

The University Bike Center and Greenway bike commuters are proactively pairing-up with one another on their commute to and from the University of Minnesota campus.
