How to Get a Bike
To get a bike from us, all you have to do is fill out the Bicycle Loan Application and bring it back to us, in person, during shop hours. We'll sit down, go over the application, and get back to you. We offer bicycles through two different systems, further explained below. Here are a couple of quick links to get things started.
Bicycle Distribution
The bicycle rental program works on two basic systems, depending on needs, riding habits, and bicycle availability.Cash Deposit System
This is the 2 month, $50 refundable cash deposit on a refurbished bike. This is meant to cover BBI’s investment in the bike, including a helmet, lock, and any parts needed. At any time during the deposit period, BBI will take care of adjustments and a limited number of larger repairs (within reason). The loan term is renewable without forfeit of the deposit.
Credit Card Deposit System
The credit card system will apply strictly to the new commuter bikes that we have purchased. They must be brought in every two weeks for a check-up, but may be checked out again. These bicycles will also come with a lock and a helmet, and failure to return these and the bike will result in paying full retail price.
Just get in touch with us if you have any questions at all about the bicycles or the rental process. We're easily reached via email or during our shop hours.
