ALBUQUERQUE’S BIKE SHARE PROGRAM GOT A BIG BOOST LAST WEEK WHEN THE CITY EXPANDED THE NUMBER OF BIKES AVAILABLE FOR USE. AND THERE WAS GOOD REASON FOR THE EXPANSION. VALERIE HERMANSON WITH ZAGSTER, A PARTICIPANT IN THE PROGRAM, SAYS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING THE BIKES SINCE THE BIKE SHARE PROGRAM STARTED IN MAY 2015.
SIXTY-THREE-POINT-4 PERCENT OF THE RIDERS DURING THAT TIME WERE FROM NEW MEXICO AND THE REST WERE FROM OUT OF STATE. AND THERE WERE 10-THOUSAND TRIPS MADE BY ABOUT 24-HUNDRED RIDERS. MOST WERE UNM STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
