Link Dayton Bike Share, a Bike Miami Valley program, is offering free Link Bikes for trips 45 minutes or less through usage of a coupon “MVAIR” via the Link Dayton App, according to the website.

“We all share the same air in the region, and it is important to take actions like riding a bike or taking transit instead of driving alone to reduce air pollution,” MVRPC’s Executive Director Brian O. Martin said. “We are excited to have Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority and Link Dayton Bike Share join us in the celebration of Air Quality Awareness Week and help promote these actions.”
