NEWS RELEASE
COMMUNITY CYCLES
*************************
Boulder’s Community Cycles is collecting e-bike usage data regarding how people in and around Boulder are adopting an e-bike to replace trips in a motor vehicle.
By taking four short surveys over the next year, any e-biker can play a vital role in showcasing the strong impact of e-bikes on air quality, traffic congestion, and personal well-being.
The next time you hop on your e-bike, remember that your journey goes beyond the road ahead. Your personal commitment to sustainable commuting has the potential to inspire a wave of change that ripples far and wide.
Your Mileage, Your Voice: Advocacy for Change
Your e-bike mileage isn’t just a number; it’s a powerful tool for advocacy. Sharing your journey through Community Cycles will help expand local e-biking culture by promoting the multiple benefits of longer-distance e-bike usage for everyone, no matter your income level or ability.
It can spark conversations and inspire others to give commuting by e-bike a try. When people see real-world examples of commuting by e-bike, they’re more likely to consider making the switch themselves. Your stories and data can influence policy decisions, funding allocations, and the development of cycling-friendly infrastructure.
Sandee Cirian, project manager, shared her perspective on the project. “E-bikes are more than just a convenient way to get around. They have the potential to transform our lives, our cities, and even our planet. Community Cycles wants to continue to build on the work of helping people have a better commute by continuing to create the kind of transportation transformation we all want to see. That will bring us cleaner air, a healthier climate, and a more equitable community.”
How to Report Your E-bike Mileage, Make an Impact and Win Prizes
It’s simple. Sign up on https://communitycycles.org/ebike or just email your contact info and they’ll send you short surveys over the next year. We’ll summarize the data for the State of Colorado, who provided a generous grant to inspire folks all over the Boulder area to commute by e-bike.
For your time and data, we’ll add your name into quarterly drawings for prizes like $50 gift cards to REI, free bike workshops at Community Cycles, Community Cycles Memberships and more!
