Does the institution have a bicycle-sharing program or participate in a local bicycle-sharing program?:
A brief description of the program, including an indication of its scope (e.g., the number of bicycles the program makes available, participation levels, etc.):
The University of Iowa offers bicycles for rent through its Recreational Services program. In addition, the Iowa City Bike Library offers bicycle rentals and low-cost sets of tools and benches for cyclists to work on their bicycles. The Bike Library also repairs and sells older bicycles. Many students, faculty, and staff use the Iowa City Bike Library. A volunteer-run organization, the Iowa City Bike Library's goal is to increase the number of bicycles on the roads in Iowa City. Bicycles that are donated are repaired and refurbished and made available for long-term lease at reasonable prices.
