Come try out riding an e-bike for free on Sunday September 18!

Climate Smart Rhinebeck is excited to be partnering with e-bike company Bewegen. Look for a pop-up tent in front of the Methodist Church at 83 E Market St during the Farmers’ Market and drop by to test out this new super climate friendly mode of transportation.

“E-bikes, bicycles equipped with a small electric motor to boost pedaling power, are of growing interest as an alternative to cars because they enable more people to cycle farther in more challenging terrain than would be possible with a conventional bicycle…Maximizing e-bike use could save a total of 24.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year … the researchers report in the journal Transport Policy.” —Athropocene
