Big Blue Cycles The Big Blue Cycles program has a fleet of more than 150 bicycles available exclusively to students living in campus housing who sign a one year car-free commitment which restricts them from purchasing a parking permit.

UK Transportation Services Accepting Bicycle Donations

Are you moving out of your residence hall and no longer have a need for your bicycle? Instead of leaving it behind, donate it!

Bicycle donation helps expedite the abandoned bike process and frees up space on campus bike racks. Bikes donated through this process will become a part of the Wildcat Wheel Bicycle Library.
