Bikes!
2013 is the Year of the Bike in Salt Lake City, UT.
 |
| These blue bikes are everywhere in SLC |
 |
| Each rack has a tip or reminder |
 |
| The Green Bike program is fantastic! There are so many stations, everything is very clear, and most importantly everything is very clear and accessible. That is the Mormon Temple in the background. |
 |
| Prices |
 |
| The bikes have built in locks! D.C. would be wise to do this.... |
