Loaner Bike Program

Through the generosity of individual donors and some really great sponsors, the league has been able to build a small fleet of bikes, including GT and Team Marin hardtails to be used by student-athletes facing circumstances that prevent them from owning their own bike.

Student-athletes must complete the request form below to apply for a loaner bike. We will review all requests and follow up with each student-athlete, informing them of their eligibility within 1-2 weeks of submission.

Program overview and guidelines:

  • The bikes are strictly intended to be used by student-athletes with financial challenges.
  • Bikes will be distributed to head coach (HC) or team director (TD) on a first-come first-served basis.
  • The HC/TD are responsible for the bikes. HC/TD check the bikes out and agree to return the bikes in clean working condition at the end of the season.
  • Helmets must be worn at all times while operating a loaner bike.
  • Due to the limited number of loaner bikes, we would like to ensure that the riders who receive a bike commit to participation in ALL races for the season.
  • If there are broken parts or parts needing replacing – HC/TD are responsible for replacing – if the team does not have the means – it is imperative that they communicate this, as well as the list of parts needing replacement
