    Two Blackburn Copilot bicycle trailers are available to borrow to transport your smallest family members. You can also borrow a bicycle helmet if you do not own one. Our helmets are Specialized Align II models in sizes XL, M/L, and S/M.

    All bicycles are 2023 Trek Marlin 4s. They are available in frame sizes L, M, S, and XS. All bicycles are equipped with water bottle cages, cable locks with keys, kickstands, bells, and reflectors.

    Bicycles are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This is because weather conditions and other factors could affect your desired pickup time

    Bicycles can be borrowed and returned at the Library's Adventure Zone station in the parking lot of the Leisure Centre. You can check online to see what bicycles and other accessories are available before your visit.

    Adults age 18+ can borrow one adult bicycle and up to two children's bicycles per Library Card.

    All you need to borrow a bicycle and its accessories is your valid Library Card. Don't have a card yet? Visit the Using the Library page to find out more about what to bring to get your Card. Before you ride away for the first time, you will sign a waiver that we keep on file for future bicycle borrows.

    1. Have a valid Stouffville Library card (18+)
    2. Visit the Adventure Zone during the open hours (bring your library card!)
    3. Sign the Lendery Agreement waiver if this is your first time borrowing from the library lendery
    4. Sign a bike condition agreement
