UTA installs blue bikes on Main again for Bike Month

Every year, UTA's Ride Share program takes a dozen or so bikes out of storage and locks them up to bike racks along Main Street downtown. That may sound like a strange thing to do, but the unique paint jobs and humorous and poignant signs that are attached to the bikes draw the attention of many passersby, especially at the newly opened City Creek shopping center.
