I sit atop a Pronto Bike at UW’s arena while Dubs, UW’s live mascot, enjoys the attention.
Well, Pronto has been around since October 13th – Tuesday was the three month mark. So how are things going? Pronto recently released some trip and membership data for 2014. The highlights from their Tumblr:
- 5,485 System Users: We had 1,984 annual members sign on along with 3,501 casual users of the system (those who purchased a 24 hour or 3 day pass).
- 21,026 Total Trips Taken: Averaged out, we’ve had 262 trips per day.
- 34,931 lbs. of CO2 Reduced: 1,778 gallons of gasoline would emit that same amount of carbon dioxide.
- 43,010 Total Miles Clocked: We totally made it around the world in 80 days. In fact, we circled the globe 1.72 times. In 80 days. Bam!
- 1,677,390 Calories Burned: 11,981 cans of cola have the same amount of calories.
