BikeHub

A BikeHub volunteer tests the pedals on on a vintage-style bicycle while a student tests the tire pressure.
BikeHub provides bike loans and repairs on campus.

The BikeHub is UVic's bike loan program. It’s a bike-share program where volunteer mechanics give new life and use to old bikes. The BikeHub then loans out the refurbished bikes to the UVic community at a reasonable price. The BikeHub program diverts waste from the landfill, promotes community health and takes action on climate change.

All BikeHub services are available to UVic students and employees.

The BikeHub is open 10 am to 1 pm, Monday to Friday.

Bike rentals

Our stock varies, but we usually have hybrid and mountain bikes available for long-term and short-term rentals.

Bike rental costs
Service Cost
Long-term (1+ term) $50 + $50 refundable deposit
Short-term rental (per day) $10
Short-term rental (per week) $30

The $50 deposit for long-term bike rentals is refunded when the bike is returned. Rental fees help cover the cost of maintenance and refurbishing new donor bikes.

You can request a long-term loan online. For short-term rentals, email us or drop by to see what’s available.

Tune ups & repairs

We give all our bikes a through safety inspection and tune up before we lend them out. If you have your own bike, we offer basic tune ups and repairs at a fraction of the cost of most private bike shops.

Costs for bike tune-ups and repairs
Service Cost
Tune ups $25 + parts
Flat tire repair $15 + parts
Parts and accessories Varies

You can drop your bike off for servicing at the Campus Bike Centre any time between 10 am to 1 pm, Monday to Friday.
