Test Drive an Electric Bike

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Test Drive an Electric BikeHalf of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Private vehicles account for 60% of trips of a mile or less. Do you often drive short distances instead of biking or walking? If so, how might incorporating an electric bike into your lifestyle help you make more climate-friendly choices?
Eric Lowe 4/24/2019 7:45 AMI have cut out driving short trips altogether. I try to encourage others to ride their bikes in Baltimore, pointing to new and improved cycling infrastructure. -
