GREENbike and SelectHealth Offer Free Rides to Everyone on June 22, 2019!
Â
SALT LAKE CITY, UT (June 19, 2019) — GREENbike, Salt Lake City’s non-profit bike share system, is teaming up with SelectHealth to offer free rides to the public this Saturday, June 22.
“GREENbike is a fun and versatile way to exercise and enjoy our great city,†said SelectHealth Public Relations Manager, Greg Reid. “It complements our mission of helping people live the healthiest life possibleâ€
Over the past six years, the GREENbike program has offset more than 4,600,000 pounds of CO2 and other pollutants from entering the air and avoided more than 5,000,000 vehicle miles from impacting local roads, while burning nearly 68,000,000 calories in the process. The local non-profit bike share system is dedicated to offering the community an affordable, convenient and sustainable transportation option.
“None of this would be possible without the support of SelectHealth,†said GREENbike executive director, Ben Bolte. “Now we have the opportunity to offer folks familiar or unfamiliar with the program another chance to ride for free!â€
This Saturday, GREENbike is the best way to have fun and avoid parking with the many downtown attractions like the Farmers Market, Utah Arts Festival and Bee’s baseball game. Go to any GREENbike station, purchase a 24-hour pass using the promo code “2019†and ride for free!
To find a GREENbike station, download the Bcycle app or go to https://greenbikeslc.org/station-map.
