Riding a Metro Bike is easy and fun. It only takes 30 minutes to start feeling the many benefits of riding. Did you know that you burn approximately 180 calories in a single 30 minute bike trip? Plus, for each 30 minute bike ride that replaces a car trip, you offset approximately 4.275 lb of CO2! The impact of an individual who commits to ride more often can be incredible, and when a community of people choose to bike instead, the results can be astonishing. Since the debut of Metro Bike Share in Los Angeles, riders have burned a cumulative total of 179,857,392 calories and have reduced over 4,271,613 lbs. of carbon emissions*!
* Data is based on estimation using trip duration and origin/destination location.
Whether you are riding for health, for the environment or just to get to work on time, commit to ride more Metro Bikes in 2022. Studies show that people are more likely to stay committed to and accomplish goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely. Each month this year we’ll be sharing a calendar of suggested activities to help you stay motivated and committed to ride more often. Check out the February calendar below!
