We know that’s a bold statement to make, but it’s gonna take more than EV’s to turn the climate crisis around. We’re not saying don’t purchase an EV if you have the means to do it, but there are other things that you can do, and since we are bicycle advocates, we are gonna focus on those.
Ride your bike! Use it for short trips around town. Every time you choose your bike instead of your vehicle you are saving CO2 emissions which contribute to rising heat and vehicles add to congestion. We are traffic!
Consider an e-bike! We’ve been taking a fleet of e-bikes to events around the region and everyone who gets on one, LOVES it! The state is working on a voucher program, which we hope launches soon, but in the meantime, reach out to us to find out where we’ll be with our E-Bike Education and Experience team. We’ll help you think through all the attributes of e-bikes to help you decide which bike might be right for you. Click here for more on e-bike basics.
