Tar Heel Bikes
UNC-Chapel Hill partners with Spin to provide a bikeshare program for the Carolina community. Bikesharing is a convenient and cost-effective way to get around while certified personnel keep the bicycles maintained. A fleet of 100 Tar Heel Bikes (provided by Spin) are located at bikeshare hubs across campus. These e-bikes are available for use by students, employees and visitors and may be used on campus.
