Iowa City Bike Library

The Iowa City Bike Library checks out bikes to the public in an effort to put more people on bikes and reduce auto traffic congestion. The main goals of the Bike Library are to:

• Put more people on bicycles
• Expand transportation options
• Reduce auto traffic congestion
• Provide the general health benefits that accompany cycling
• Create a hub for bike advocacy

Bikes are available to check out for six-month periods. Deposits vary based upon the type and condition of the bike. If you return the bike within 6 months, your deposit is returned minus damages beyond normal wear. If you decide to keep the bike, the Bike Library automatically keeps your deposit after the 6-month due date, and that money is used to purchase parts and equipment to keep this community bike project operating.
