Denver Shows M/cr How To Carry Bikes

Denver’s Transport Authority, RTD-Denver, announced that as of April 2009 cyclists will no longer require a permit to bring bikes on light rail, making it even easier to combine bikes and transit.

A Winning Combination: Bikes & Transit
RTD-Denver’s Bike-n-Ride Program already offers cyclists an excellent integrated service, making it easy for cyclists to combine cycling with public transport with a seamless door-to-door journey.

The removal of the permit system, introduced to ensure cyclists were aware of the conditions of travel, shows that cyclists can be trusted to share the light rail system with little if any problems.

Manchester’s cyclists would be amazed at how pro-active RTD are in creating a fully integrated, cycle-friendly system. “It’s as if cyclists are regarded as valued customers, a completely different experience from what we’re used to in Manchester”.
