It’s a scooter and e-bike season unlike any before in the Mile High City. Booming ridership is giving multimodal transportation advocates something to cheer for and also some reasons for concern.
The hefty numbers — more than 308,000 riders in June, according to Lyft, — are further proof, multimodal transportation advocates say, that demand for options outside of cars is still growing in Denver and the city needs to continue investing in infrastructure like protected bike lanes.
Lime, the only other micromobility operator authorized to work in Denver, sets new ridership records monthly, according to spokeswoman Russell Murphy. “As in other cities, gas prices have definitely boosted ridership as folks look to more affordable options to get around. We also see the return of commuting and summer travel playing a role,” Murphy told the Denver Post.
