A ride along the Jordan River helps Salt Lake City’s mayor promote alternative transportation

Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski biked to work with an entourage of residents and city employees Thursday as part of the annual Mayor’s Bike to Work Day.

A police escort assisted with the crossing of busy streets as the mayor rode a bike provided by the nonprofit bike share program, GREENbike.

“Mayor’s Bike to Work Day is a great opportunity to get out and enjoy a beautiful spring morning on two wheels,” Biskupski said. “There has been a renaissance along the Jordan River and this year’s ride will show all that has been accomplished and what we can continue to do with smart investments.
