The Mercury spoke with several people who purchased electric bikes through Portland Clean Energy Fund's new rebate program. While the recipients’ backgrounds and transportation habits varied, everyone echoed the same general sentiment: e-bikes are game-changing.

I bought some supplies to start drawing again just in time for the workweek to destroy my creative spark.
Portland should have a couple dedicated bike expressways. Closed to cars, and all stopsigns along it face cross-traffic. Even just one, running east/west, and maybe one north/south would be cool. This sharrow and afterthought bike lane stuff we got going on is not enough for cross town trips.
