@Burgundavia @TRECpdx Thanks

It has been a little while since we updated the #ebike Incentive tracker. Check it out and let us know if we are missing any programs #e-bike #bicycles #micromobility https://t.co/cat4DqAK27

[John MacArthur @johnmacpdx]

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) invites you to participate in an important survey regarding #ebikes and other e-micromobility devices and their recreational use in state parks. This survey is open from May 31st to August 31st.

@archibaldcrane @JamesSantelli @drvolts @TRECpdx Will do! I have to update the list very soon anyways. Thanks for the information.

Thanks @DrLaurenPearson @DrBenBeck for hosting me for a fantastic day discussing Shifting Gears: active transport & #ebikes w/ Alex Bigazzi & Meghan Winters

#E-bikes used to be seen as bicycles and bicycles only. But arguably—as commuters, families, delivery workers, and even cargo haulers turn toward the e-bike—it's becoming something closer to another kind of #EV https://t.co/Uyr92djP2l

@drchrischerry @DavidZipper @CamSBennett @UTKCTR @NITC_UTC @CityLab Couldn't agree more

[TREC at PSU @TRECpdx]

#EBikes have captured attention across the US, for good reason: They are energy-efficient, provide exercise, and are accessible for many types of riders. Hear from @drchrischerry @UTKnoxville, @johnmacpdx & Luke Jones of @valdostastate in @ConversationUS:

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

In @CityLab I wrote about a new study exploring the power/limits of e-bike rebates.

TLDR: Rebates lead more people to ride (esp those w/low incomes), benefitting public health & urban quality of life. But they're an inefficient way to reduce emissions.

[Chris Cherry @drchrischerry]

Always good when @DavidZipper can translate the results of a study into plain english. @johnmacpdx @CamSBennett @UTKCTR @NITC_UTC

Just how climate-friendly are e-bike rebate programs? https://t.co/8kdz5LVDLn via @citylab

Denver continues to lead the way on e-bikes

2024 could be considered “the year of the ebike”, as our sustainable transportation program manager @johnmacpdx told the @guardian. After several years of false starts, electric bikes are finally entering the American mainstream: https://t.co/fDAdm0hyEt

No Laughing Matter! @KellyJClifton appeared on @ActiveTowns podcast last Friday talking about the transportation comic "Moving From Cars To People." https://t.co/sjSawfvnNN Check out the episode here: https://t.co/gSl4BRTJGA

[TREC at PSU @TRECpdx]

Our @PSUEdAbroad course this past summer explored sustainable transportation in Sweden and Denmark, with support from the Scan Design foundation. They toured the infrastructure, biked in the cities, and even ran into some @thomasdambo trolls along the way: https://t.co/fcvFR1BUla

[Better Bike Share @betterbikeshare]

Key takeaways from a new @limebike study:
+Low-fare Access users were more likely to be locals who commute using Lime
+Everyone uses Lime to access transit, but especially Access users
+Access users see shared micromobility as essential for their mobility
