Free rides!

I don’t get to break much news on this here blog, but for those six dedicated readers, here’s a scoop. Hurry up and open your Lyft app, and then type in this promo: SAFERIDEKY4TH

It’ll give you two free rides — up to $10 each — all weekend long, through July 5. Do it sooner rather than later, because once it’s announced at 10 a.m. this morning, it’ll go quick.

The responsible folks of Safe Ride KY have donated $20,000 to the fund.

Who is Safe Ride KY? It’s a coalition led by the Kentucky Distillers’ Association that includes Lyft, the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of Kentucky, Independent Stave Co., Buzick Construction, and Distirct 8 Councilman Brandon Coan.

They’d like to help get you home safe this weekend, and I think that’s a great thing!
