University of Memphis - Tiger bike share program

The University of Memphis, proud to be a leader in sustainability practices, now offers the Tiger Bike Share Program as another way to reduce our carbon footprint and promote a healthy and active resource for students to get to and from work and classes. As another component of the U of M's green fee initiative, the Tiger Bike Share Program affords students the opportunity to check out a bicycle for recreational purposes or as an alternative mode of transportation. It's a great way for students to save money and time, while showing good stewardship towards the environment and also meeting the Memphis Healthy U program component of including exercise to stay healthy. There are multiple benefits for people who live near campus to commute to school on a bike rather than driving a car. It saves fuel, provides an easier parking option, and is just plain healthy. Plus, riding is fun! You can explore area vendors surrounding the campus including local restaurants and shops. You can ride with friends either on outings or just to and from class. You can even enjoy the Shelby Farms Greenway which provides a scenic and leisurely ride to Shelby Farms Park. In addition, new bike lanes are being designated each year that open safer routes to many parts of Memphis including Midtown and even Downtown. Plain and simple, bicycling is good for you, good for the environment, and we at Tiger Bike look forward to helping make your bike share experience exceptional and memorable.
