The SGA and the UT Outdoor Program teamed up to initiate a semester-long bike rental program, which began in fall 2011. Twenty Kona bicycles were made available for rent at $40 for the semester. Students renting bikes received a bike, helmet, lock, access to the UT bike shop, and a safety instruction course at the time of rental. In its first semester of operation, 16 of the 20 bikes were rented.
