A lot of college students around the country are riding bikes around campus. More than ever
before probably. But, one college in particular has started a program where students can rent Kona AfricaBikes for the semester.
For $30, students at the University of Montana in Missoula can rent the burly, cruiser-style bikes for the semester. Called "Semester Bikes," the Associated Students of The University of Montana’s Office of Transportation Department purchased 15 AfricaBikes with the help of local Kona dealer Missoula Bicycle Works. The bikes will come in handy for all students as a means of getting around campus, and especially help international students and students that are on campus for only one semester. Each Semester Bike comes with a helmet and lock.

On the other side of the country, Virginia Tech graduate Christine George's fall '08 BikeTown Africa fundraiser - which raised $10,600 - was recently featured in the Virgina Tech magazine. For '09, Christine plans on putting together another successful fundraiser for the program.
