On December 3, Vital Communities hosted Todd Chewning of Cowbell Mobile Bike Shop for an informal “E-bike 101” Q & A clinic for participants in a program helping Vermonters in need purchase e-bikes. We shared tips and tricks, reflective bike stickers and goodies, and hot cider, all while learning about best e-bike practices. E-bikes can help people overcome a variety of transportation “roadblocks,” from reduced physical ability as avid bikers age, to conquering our hilly and rural routes. Funded by the Vermont Agency of Transportation, this e-bike subsidy pilot project helped 14 individuals purchase e-bikes, and provided an e-bike to be shared by the residents of Hartford Dismas House.
