Michaela WagnerThe Country's First Fully Electric Bike-Share Program opened in Park City, Utah on July 19th. Our town wanted less traffic and better air quality and hopes its new fleet will mitigate traffic congestion and promote environmental sustainability. Park City believes the answer is e-bikes, an all-electric bike-share program. While some cities in the US, such as Baltimore, Maryland, and Birmingham, Alabama, have integrated pedal-assist bikes into their existing bike-share programs, Park City has become the first to create a fleet consisting entirely of e-bikes. 88 e-bikes are available and can be picked up at 9 different stations located in Old Town, Kimball Junction, and Canyons Transit Center.

Park City makes the list at #8 on 23 Best Small Town Main Streets in America. Summer Sundays are practically made for the Park Silly Sunday Market where live music, craft artisans, and delicious food vendors abound. Loaded bloody mary in hand, explore the festival by foot on historic Main Street for a day that will linger in your memories fondly for years to come. If you're not in town for the market, the strip still bleeds with mountain town charm. Grab some grub on the year-round heated rooftop patio at No Name Saloon and then navigate your way through art galleries, cafes and boutiques. Shouting distance from Main Street is the famed Washington School House that still feels secluded from the bustling downtown thanks to its spectacular mountain views.
