Looking to get out this weekend, KPCW has shared that E-Bikes Are Back For The Season. In perhaps another sign of “reopening” in the Park City area, the county’s bike share program has returned for another season. The 2020 program comes with improvements and measures for sanitation. There are 200 bikes and 19 stations available.

In response to the glitches and problems last year, the county hired a local project manager, who has worked with the vendors over the winter to make improvements. The operators are sanitizing the bikes on a regular basis. But they’re asking the public to take precautions also as they will not be cleaning the bikes between every single use.

You can register for the program at “summitbikeshare.com”  An annual pass for local residents and employees, will cost $90. They’re also offering a free one-month pass to local workers who were on the ground during the coronavirus outbreak. There’s a single-ride pass, and that’s $3 for 30 minutes. Every minute over 30 minutes is 15 cents a minute. When you have an annual pass, your rides are 45 minutes long before you need to dock.

Want to travel a little further and see as many national parks as possible in one giant road trip? The Discover Blog share the best road trips in each state, click here for the whole article. The trip from Moab in the east to Kanab in the south will make sure you don't miss out on those spectacular landscapes you've yet to explore. Red-rock formations galore and riveting red sunsets make this road trip one to remember for the rest of your life. Along the way, make plans to stop in Arches National Park, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

We wrap up this week's blog with an article from RISMedia in the Top 10 Markets for Millennials During the Pandemic and Salt Lake City makes the list. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) recently ranked the top metros for millennials amidst the pandemic, taking into consideration the following: housing affordability, local job market conditions, the millennial population in the area, and available inventory across the largest 100 U.S. metros.

These are the top 10 markets with favorable conditions for millennial homebuyers during the pandemic:

1. Austin-Round Rock, Texas

2. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas

3. Des Moines-West Des Moines, Iowa

4. Durham-Chapel Hill-Raleigh, N.C.

5. Houston-The Woodlands, Texas

6. Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, Ind.

7. Omaha, Nebraska/Council Bluffs, Iowa

8. Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz.

9. Portland, Oregon/Vancouver, Wash.

10. Salt Lake City, Utah

“Nationally, millennials make up the largest share of homebuyers and these metropolitan areas, in particular, offer great opportunities to realize the dream of homeownership,” said NAR President Vince Malta, broker at Malta & Co., Inc., in San Francisco, Calif. “As states and cities begin to reopen, millennials will play a significant role in the housing market’s recovery.”
