Austin B-Cycle, the city's bicycle-sharing system, had another record-breaking South By Southwest, with thousands of riders checking out bikes for short trips through downtown Austin, the epicenter of the annual tech, music and film festival.
According to a Wednesday announcement from the bike-sharing business, B-Cycle saw 21,177 total trips on its bikes during SXSW, compared to just under 17,800 trips a year earlier.
For instance, each B-Cycle bike was checked out 57 times, on average, during the 10 day festival. The single-day record for trips was set on Thursday, March 19, with 3,032 trips logged in all, an average of 8.2 trips per bike.
In all, B-cycle administrators moved bikes a total of 7,462 times to meet demand for its services.
