Bicycles & Gear Rental

Go out and Play.

We believe in the value of outdoor exploration and encourage you to get outside as much as possible. Which is why we offer a full-service gear rental and have an on-campus community bike shop. Both will provide you the tools and gear you need to get outside.

We also have an on-campus Re-Use room where you can find everything from gear to household items, all second-hand and free.

Bike Shoppe

Northland College student working on bike.

Since the mid-1990’s, Northland’s Sunshine Community Bike Shoppe has served as a hub for bike enthusiasts. The shoppe has tools, parts, and plenty of advice to offer to anyone who wants to repair their bike or build a bike from scratch. If you are interested in learning the ABC’s of bike repair, you are welcome and encouraged to volunteer alongside our work-study students who manage the shoppe. Thinking about not bringing your own bike to campus this year? Consider adopting one of our thirty rental bikes for a semester or two! More information is available on Facebook.

Outpost Gear Rental

Northland College Outpost
The Northland College Outpost rents outdoor gear to the College community and the greater Chequamegon Bay area using the Gear Reservation Form. From tents to trowels, canoes to Coleman stoves, and backpacks to bear ropes, we have outdoor gear options for every season and most group sizes. The Outpost is located in the lower level of the Ponzio Campus Center (campus map). Current hours are Monday and Wednesday from 10 am – 3 pm, Tuesday and Thursday from 2 – 6 pm, and Friday from 11 am – 6 pm. You can reach outpost staff at (715) 682-1265 or via email.
