How do I buy a Green Bike?

Townsville

Due to the popularity of the program bikes are often in short supply. At the start of each semester a fleet of bikes are sold with first preference given to new International students as the program is an International Office initiative. Students wishing to purchase a green bike should visit the JCU Bike Workshop during opening hours.

Current opening hours are 2pm-5pm, Tuesday to Friday.

Cairns

The Green Bike Fleet program is now available in Cairns in 2017. Please contact tropeco@jcu.edu.au for more information on bike sales for the Cairns campus.

How do I donate my bike?

If you would like to donate a bike to the program please contact greenbikes@jcu.edu.au. Students wishing to return their Green Bike are eligible for a $20 reimbursement provided the bike is in good working order. For details on how to obtain a reimbursement please contact greenbikes@jcu.edu.au.

The JCU Green Bike Fleet project is a collaboration between James Cook International, TropEco and the Bicycle Users Group and was made possible through the JCU Action for Sustainability Fund.
