Loaner Bikes

Yale Cycling has loaner bicycles for temporary use by members.

There are road, mountain, and cyclocross bikes that are both owned by the club and on loan. We have these bicycle available so that we can allow newcomers to try different disciplines, for training and racing, but either don’t yet own a bicycle and/or can’t afford to purchase one.

If you are a current Yale Cycling member looking to loan one of our bicycles, please fill out the following form and email us.

Make sure you have also filled out the waiver.

Note for Undergraduates: A few residential colleges participate in the Equitable Bikeshare at Yale (EB@Y) Program, which offers an opportunity to rent a bike and necessary equipment for a day, if you are just interested in joining occasional group rides. See the links below for more information. Yale News article on EB@Y. Also, check out the Franklin-Murray Bike Shop, which has a few bikes available and offers bike maintenance and repair services for free!
