The Student Government and Texas Tech Outdoor Pursuits Center are collaborating to make Tech a more bike-friendly campus.

Why ride with Bike Tech?
1: Car broken?  Rent a bike at the OPC.  It’s free!  No, really.  Brand spankin’ new campus cruisers for up to three days, helmet, lights and lock included.
2: Not sure if you’re a commuter, but want to try it out?  Come by the OPC and get the scoop on riding around Lubbock from our Bike-enthused staff.  Check out a bike and see how it suits you.
3: Can’t make it to the gym?  Still have to go to class?  Renting a bike is a great way to work out and enjoy the breeze on your commute.
4: Need a cheap date idea?  Check out some bikes and go to a local park of restaurant.

How to register your bike:

The Texas Tech Police Department will register your bicycle free of charge. This simple procedure takes about five minutes and can be done at the Texas Tech Police Department Building. When you place the registration sticker on your bicycle it tells a potential thief that the Texas Tech Police has all of the information about the bike on file. This may also assist in its recovery if stolen.  They also recommend engraving your driver’s license number into your bike to help locate should it be lost.
