Denver’s Bike to Work Day on June 24 drew 32,800 participants and helped reduce more than a quarter of a million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
Or so say organizers of the 2015 Bike to Work Day, who estimate the number of bikers jumped 12 percent over last year’s event.
An estimated 9,179 Bike to Work Day commuters were new participants.
The bicycle miles for the day totaled 603,612 — on average, participants rode 9.2 miles, one way.
That means vehicle miles of travel was reduced by an estimated 316,836 miles, which led to a cut of a quarter of a million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the Denver Regional Council of Governments.
