The bike share program started after members of BEAST recognized it was a service that was greatly needed at and around the St. Thomas community. The rising costs of gas and public transportation have made transportation unaffordable for many people. The bike share program provides an affordable and sustainable solution to the limited choices of transportation that are currently available. The bike share program allows anyone who needs access to a bike to be able to check out a bike with a bike lock free of charge.

The Bikes

We have a wide variety of bicycles for use including road bikes, single speeds, cruisers, mountain bikes, and hybrids. The bikes are in a range of sizes to accomodate the shortest of people to the tallest.

Checking Out a Bike

The bike share program is run out of the Wellness Center(lower level Koch room 13).  

Hours to check out a bike are 8-4:30. Anyone with a St. Thomas ID (students, staff, or faculty can use the program). 


If you would like to check out a bike, go to the Wellness Center with your UST ID. After your check-in you will be able to choose from the fleet of bikes awaiting you just outside


The checkout process will be for 5 days (late fees will be enforced). If you would like to print and fill out the waiver before you come into the Wellness Center, please go the the Wellness Center website, http://www.stthomas.edu/wellness/bikeshare/
