UL Lafayette has announced the Geaux Velo bike share program on campus! For $2 or less a day, you can rent one of the 52 bikes that are available at three locations on campus.
Anyone can rent the bikes, but first must register online at geauxvelobikeshare.com
A total of 52 bikes are available at three stations on campus: 32 at Cajun Field, 10 outside the Student Union on Boucher Street, and 10 inside the Girard Park Circle parking garage.
Rental costs are free for the first hour, $1 for the second hour, and $1 for the third. Hours four through eight are free. The cost per hour for every hour after the eighth is $1. Bikes are due back to any of the three stations at midnight.
The bicycles are provided by Rugged Cycles, a company in Bryan, Texas which has also provided bikes for Texas A&M University for several years now.
Each bike consists of an aluminum frame that sits atop tires made of solid rubber that won’t go flat. The chains are fully enclosed, a safety feature to keep clothing or shoelaces from getting caught.
