BIKE RENTAL

Many KITP visitors have gotten bikes from:

Isla Vista Bicycle Boutique
882 Embaracadero del Mar
Isla Vista

(805) 968-3338

Weekly rate of $35 and Monthly rate of $75

They have an assortment of used bikes in varying conditions. IV Bike Boutique sells you the bike and then buys it back minus the rental fee.

Santa Barbara CarFree has a list of other bicycle rental places.

Some KITP visitors buy a used bicycle for between $100 and $180 and then sell the bike to an incoming KITP visitor. The only drawback to this is that the KITP does not have facilities for storing the bike if it sells after you have left. You would need to find a friend here to hold it for you.

UCSB maintains a bicycle maintenance area at the UCSB Bicycle Shop located at:

Trailer 324, or call them at extension 3610. There is an air compressor for filling tires that is located at the end of the trailer. The compressor is available 24 hours each day.
