"it's stupid to drive a car for trips under 1 mile" Our man, Mike, here gets it and he hasn't even ridden an E-bike for transportation. Welcome our newest borrowers who are living the dream of trips with zero traffic or parking woes. #hoodriverebikelibrary #ebikelibrary #hoodriver
E-bike education for a bike library is tricky. But we did a good job threading the needle balancing essentials versus boring "driver's ed" video. Many of the White Salmon and Bingen library borrowers have commented on how prepared they feel. @wsdot.wa.gov vimeo.com/1211510773?f...

Another happy E-bike library borrower. I took her from her house to her work and showed her secret cut-throughs between her destinations. @ridevvolt.bsky.social #ebikelibrary #hoodriver
I'm calling it now, this E-bike Library is going to transform Bingen and White Salmon. @wsdot.wa.gov funded this pilot and I don't think they are prepared for the advocates they are breeding who will demand protected bikeways on highways 14 and 141.
"Did you move here for wind sports?" Nope, for the carless lifestyle near the outdoors. Winging by bike is the way.
"Maybe I can finally sell my car now" Our 2nd E-bike library borrower is out the door and we look forward to hearing how they find this V-Volt as a car replacement.
Any other wing foiling by bucket bike people out there? What a beautiful Sunday evening in Hood River. #urbanarrow
A band near and dear to my heart for the fashion + bike culture... Portland's Ride to Nowhere, a Talking Heads ride, is always a hoot.
My 2nd year for the "Ride to Nowhere" in tribute to Talking Heads. So grateful to have Annika join me this time.
An E-bike Library 🎀 ✂️ Bingen + White Salmon, WA have a combined population of 3,600. They are 1.5 miles away from each other, separated by 620 feet of elevation, a perfect rural community for E-bikes. This morning, I led 20 people of various abilities on a group ride and I think they had fun.

Megan Ramey@bikabout.com · 2w ago"can I give you a hug?" Meet my first e-bike library borrower, a mother of 4, who learned how to ride a bike at 30 years old when her family moved to America. She wants to use the e-bike to get to school as a teacher. I met her to check out the bike and rode with her home. She was overjoyed.
A beautiful illustration of the power of e-bikes.

The beauty of everyday cycling in the Netherlands. Artist Cathy Tuttle captures these everyday scenes beautifully in a series of watercolour postcards. We love these glimpses of the ordinary, made extraordinary. Explore the full collection: buff.ly/J3L3nOn

Swimming in our town's namesake river with fresh snow melt from Mount Hood always resets the soul on a 🔥 hot day.
Say it with me: E-bikes are life changing
"I was being ironical."@uxchampion.bsky.social · 2w agoHis doctor’s prescription for his unbearable pain seemed absurd... but it worked. Gregory Maassen was nearly bedridden by a burning sensation that was later diagnosed as a rare form of neuropathy. He has found relief riding his e-bike across the U.S. archive.ph/RRbuD
59% less car use. This is what we need to slow climate change, and increase joy and community. With 2 E-bike library pilots in the Columbia Gorge, I am excited to see what results we generate. Report 🔗 ses.library.usyd.edu.au/bitstream/ha...
Drive-thru culture be damned, I will ride my bike up to that window to get my Rx
I wish this "speed cameras are cash grabs" trope would die. We have recent studied in the U.S. showing that after an initial surge in ticketing, fines decline as behavior changes and people speed less.
How many non-profit bike shops are lucky to have a political candidate as a volunteer wrencher 🔧? Nicole has been wrenching with us for 3+ years. #BassettforOregon

Louisa Gag, a 36 year old passionate advocate and transportation planner, died while riding her bike to Boston City Hall, where she worked on @ridebluebikes.bsky.social and Vision Zero. She was hit by the driver of large truck on Tremont Street at Parker Street. This interview 😭 (1/3)
What a great idea #hoodriver❗ Maybe, someday, #TheDalles & #Mosier will do this too. @bikabout.com #columbiagorge www.columbiagorgenews.com/news/new-e-b...
