What do you do to celebrate the launch of an entirely new form of public transportation in Seattle? THROW A DANCE PARTY OF COURSE!

You are invited to the #peopleforpronto party tonight at Hotel Max. There will be Peddler Brewing beer, dance music and a bunch of cool people who are just now recovering from the exhausting couple months they just had permitting and installing 50 stations and building 500 bikes.

And the system appears to be a hit. The Seattle PI reports that people took 4,000 rides and bought 1,450 annual memberships in just the first week. Not too shabby!

I’ve been loving Pronto. Be looking out for my initial thoughts on the system and where it is headed next in an upcoming post.

In the meantime, be sure to RSVP for the Pronto party if you’re gonna go.

Details from Pronto:

HELLO, SEATTLE! YOU’VE ASKED FOR BIKE SHARE, AND WE’VE DELIVERED – PRONTO! 50 STATIONS AND 500 BIKES HIT THE STREETS OF THE EMERALD CITY ON OCTOBER 13TH AND WE COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED TO CELEBRATE THE ARRIVAL OF SEATTLE’S VERY OWN BIKE SHARE SYSTEM.

Now it’s party time! We’ve partnered with PeopleForBikes, Zipcar and Timbuk2 Seattle to throw one heck of a celebration for a job well done inside the artist loft at Hotel Max!
