Thanks to @repblumenauer, @DrNealDunnFL2, @SenSherrodBrown + @SenMarcoRubio for introducing the Import Security and Fairness Act, which would make it harder for unsafe and untested e-bikes to be imported and sold in the US. Analysis here ➡️ https://t.co/H6Edxk33fy

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.

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. https://t.co/icwouLFyUg

Bike share in Omaha, Nebraska, has always prioritized equity — the system’s recent decision to convert to all e-bikes is an extension of that work.
