  On the contrary, UT is where I learned to love bikes and hate cars.
I spent my first two years walking and driving around town and found that
walking didn't get you anywhere quickly and driving at UT is a pain.  I found
the major source of traffic problems (IMHO) to be the cars that needed to ride
through campus and saw that the bicyclists were able to get from A to B 
qucikly, easily and without getting in anyones way.  The cars, however, always
seemed to get in my way.  I wish they would take out car traffic on campus
and just allow motorcycle and bicycle traffic.  It would certainly make the
average students life easier.  (exceptions could be made handicap access
and perhaps deliveries, but there is really no reason for cars to
be driving through the middle of campus.   *sigh*
