Why are there bikes with funny signs all over downtown Salt Lake City, Utah?

Question

I was driving in Salt Lake yesterday (Sunday, May 11) and I saw blue spray painted bikes all along the side of the street. They had signs on them like, "I get 20 miles to the organic banana," and "The road less traveled is the bike lane." What are they there for? Is it some sort of ride-share program?

Answer 1

They are trying to get people to ride there bikes around town. If they do then it will help save money on gasoline.

Answer 2

They are promoting cycling.

Bicycles are probably the most efficient form of transportation, non polluting and good for one's health.

You should try it..
