Borrow a Bike is a free bike rental program for those that need the use of a bike for a short period of time. If you borrow a bike today, it is due back by 11:00 a.m. the next morning. If you borrow a bike on Friday, it's not due until the following Monday! Customers who do not return their bike by 11:00 a.m. will be charged a $5 late fee. Customers may borrow a bike 12 times per semester.

The program is free to anyone employed by or currently enrolled at Elizabeth City State University.

The Borrow a Bike program is a basic form of bike share. We ask the Viking community members that use the program to be conscious about bringing back the bike when you are finished using it so it is available to another Viking that may need a bike.

ACTIVITIES AND TRIPS

Whether you're looking for information about a particular adventure-based activity or are searching for a trip to take you somewhere new and amazing, the Adventure program is here to provide the ECSU community with innovative and exciting trips and activities every semester.

Adventure Program trips and activities are designed to be collaborative, actively engaging experiences. They are an opportunity to build community, contribute to a group, create relationships, and have fun! Participants are encouraged and supported to overcome challenges as they try activities and develop skills. Participants are also counted upon to assist with trip tasks, such as: loading/unloading equipment, cooking, and cleaning. The Adventure Program understands that success is not merely defined by how high a person climbs or how well they paddle,but can be as simple as getting out there and trying something new.
