The 20 bicycles, which were donated to the program, rent for $8 for the first 30 minutes of use and $12 per hour, White said. The class uses the ride-share service as its practical arm and began in the spring of 2020. It started renting bikes that summer, said Future School Superintendent Boyd Logan. The program would have shared the riverfront with Zagster's ride service had the company not folded in 2020. The city board Tuesday approved giving the monthly sum to Riverside Rides. White said covid-19 and the hot weather have affected bike rentals and has kept the program from being as successful as he would like. Logan said implementing the program "got a little tricky" while the state didn't allow school-sponsored activities in 2020. White added that the class needs to do a better job of marketing Riverside Rides to the public. The class doesn't have a marketing budget. Hanna said he and White have rearranged the expenses so they don't need as much money as they did in 2020. While Logan said "it's OK" if Riverside Rides doesn't make a profit, he acknowledged that White and Hanna want it to succeed. "They want those kids to really shoot for having a sustainable business, so that's the goal," Logan said. After the board's decision, City Director Neal Martin spoke well of how Riverside Rides teaches the students entrepreneurial skills. Martin asked if there are other opportunities in Fort Smith to teach students similar lessons. "It's not necessarily the business itself, the bike rental place, but it's getting them those skills that they can then translate somewhere in the future," Martin said.
