Carson City, Nevada

Carson City is an independent city and the capital of Nevada.
As of the 2020 census, the population was 58,639, making it the sixth largest city in Nevada.
The city is named after the mountain man Kit Carson. The town began as a stopover for California-bound immigrants, but developed into a city with the Comstock Lode, a silver strike in the mountains to the northeast. The city has served as Nevada's capital since statehood in 1864; for much of its history it was a hub for the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, although the tracks were removed in 1950.
Before 1969, Carson City was the county seat of Ormsby County. That year the state legislature abolished the county and included its territory into a revised city charter for a Consolidated Municipality of Carson City. With the consolidation, the city limits extend west across the Sierra Nevada to the California state line in the middle of Lake Tahoe. Like other independent cities in the United States, it is treated as a county-equivalent for census purposes.

Nice video. I see bike lanes but no bikes in them. Is bicycling a thing there or not so much as it seems? Thanks.

Thanks. Carson City, according to "visitcarsoncity.com", is "a certified bronze Bike-Friendly Community by the League of American Cyclist. Carson City’s ranking is based off of many factors, including the total bicycle network mileage, the presence of bicycle friendly laws and ordinances, and how well a community implements the Unified Pathways Master Plan, among others. We welcome all cyclists!" Cheers!
