Rice Bikes was established in February, 2011 by two sophomores from Sid Richardson college. Although it initially started as a simple repair service, the student-run business eventually expanded to include rentals and sales, as well as working closely with Rice’s annual Beer Bike. In the Spring of 2017, Rice Bikes moved into its current location in the garage of the Multicultural Center. Now, Rice Bikes is a flourishing business that offers valuable services not only to Rice University, but communities all over Houston.
