Our Story
Bears Bikes was founded by two WashU students in 2004 when a lunchtime chat led to a simple idea: let students on campus rent bikes for the semester or school year!
The idea transformed into a real business over the following months. Bears Bikes exists today to help the Washington University community move sustainably. Our values are sustainability, safety, convenience, and reliability.
We open the storefront August 19th, but rental orders for next year are available!
