TU/e gives away 20 bikes for Bike Week

September 18, 2026 – As part of Brainport Bike Week (September 12–22), TU/e is giving away a total of twenty second-hand bikes to students. The bicycles were previously used as loan bikes for employees. Those are now being replaced by the new lustrum bicycles, which were recently purchased when professors visited local school by bike. The old – but still perfectly good – loan bikes will get a new lease on life this way.

The giveaway is open exclusively to TU/e students. They can enter until October 12 by answering the following question: if you win, where will your first ride take you? The most creative answers will win. / CdW
