The University of Idaho is working to help students cut down on their gasoline bills through a bicycle loan program on campus. U of I Media Relations Associate Brandi Hayes says the program allows students, scholars and their families to borrow a bike for a semester, a year or longer.

Sign-up is available on a first-come-first-serve basis either on-line or at the Bike Loan Program office in the Poultry Hill Warehouse located at 800 Poultry Hill Way Sundays from 11:30am to 1:30pm and by appointment.

A small deposit of $15 to $25 and a bike lock are required and participants will need to sign a liability waiver and return the bike before leaving the university.
