The deluxe bikes are NOT painted green and also come with a lock and general maintenance is included with all our rental bikes. Helmets are strongly recommended but not included; we occasionally have free ones and also some for sale.

*Notes: The deposit is refunded only to a credit card upon return of the bike in the same condition. You'll lose the deposit if the bike is stolen or damaged beyond repair. Additional rental fees (if the bike is not returned on time) and costs for repairing any damage are taken out of the deposit. Deposits are not required for MSU faculty/ staff where charges are made to a dept. account number.
