The people want e-bikes!
Six in 10 cyclists would relocate to a city that offered them an incentive to buy an electric bicycle, according to a new survey — and policymakers would be wise to start thinking of taxpayer-supported rebates as a potential economic development tool. usa.streetsblog.org/2023/08/03/stu…

"Those who are willing to use an e-bike are less likely to currently use a regular bicycle as their main mode of transport."
Meaning: e-bikes bring NEW and MORE people into bicycling for transportation 👍

Not the biggest D.C. Council news of the day, but: A bill from @charlesallen that would provide rebates/vouchers for the purchase of e-bikes just passed unanimously. It was pre-funded in the budget, so it becomes reality on Oct. 1. lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/B2…

There’s a need for transportation and the e-bike is facilitating that need in a way the bus, ride share, or a personal vehicle can’t. #Bikeshare means you don’t have to worry about maintaining, purchasing, or locking up your own e-bike — plus, it’s fun.
