LAS VEGAS \u2013\u00a0The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is celebrating three years of bike share service in downtown Las Vegas with a special $3 3-day pass and exclusive deals from downtown establishments throughout October.<\/p>\r\n

In addition, RTC Bike Share will commemorate the official three-year anniversary with a Halloween-themed bike ride and costume contest on Saturday, Oct. 26, sponsored by ReBar, a popular bar in the Las Vegas Arts District.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"Milestones
\r\n<\/strong>An easy way for residents and tourists to ride to and from the many attractions, restaurants, bars and shops downtown Las Vegas has to offer, RTC Bike Share has enjoyed great success in its first three years of service. With 21 stations and 200 bikes, including the recent addition of 20 electric pedal-assist bikes, RTC Bike Share is living up to its \u201cBright Lights \u2013 Bike City\u201d theme by making downtown Las Vegas a bike-friendly community.<\/p>\r\n

Since inception, riders have completed more than 64,000 rides, while burning nearly 7.7 million calories. Over the last three years, pass holders have ridden nearly 193,000 miles, equal to traveling 7.7 times around the earth. The launch of electric bikes in August has also contributed to recent ridership increases with the e-bikes seeing at least three times more ridership than the classic bikes.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Special promos
\r\n<\/strong>\"\"To celebrate the service\u2019s three-year anniversary, riders can save more than 65 percent on a 3-day pass in October. Normally $10, the 3-day pass will be available for just $3 until October 31, at all RTC Bike Share stations.<\/p>\r\n
