Masterplan Bike Ride

  • WKU Big Red Bikes seeks to make bicycling more accessible at WKU by providing free, refurbished bicycles at no cost to WKU students, staff, and faculty.
  • The bicycles can be checked-out for a period of one week and renewed one time (for a total rental period of 14 days) from the Department of Facilities Management in the first floor of Parking Structure 1, which is located on Avenue of Champions across from McLean Hall. Helmets and locks are available.
    To view the full rental agreement, click here.
  • Big Red Bikes is a GreenToppers project and is housed by the Office of Sustainability and the Department of Facilities Management and receives funding support from the Parents Advisory Council and Department of Parking and Transportation and the Outdoor Recreation and Activities Center.
  • In 2011, Big Red Bikes received the Paula Nye Memorial Education Grant from the Kentucky Bicycle and Bikeways Commission with funds generated from the “Share the Road” license places, which allowed for significant upgrade to the mechanic shop and expansion of the program. The grant was written by WKU Alum and past Big Red Bikes Coordinator, Nick Asher.
