E-Bikes Are The Glorious Future Of Transportation

Transportation by electric bikes is the way of the future!  I’m serious, so let’s talk about why.

Last month I shared with you how in love I am with my electric bike as a new mode of transportation around my city and why.  This month I’m here to show you the bike in action (me! on an e-bike! in my favorite places around town!) and to talk more about the benefits of riding an e-bike.

I’ve already covered what an electric-bike is doing for me in my daily life, but here’s a recap: I’m getting out more, period.  I’m taking time in my day to spend at least 20-30 minutes on a bike ride, which I just wasn’t doing before, and I love it.  I’m obsessed.  An e-bike makes bike riding more fun! And exciting! And I look forward to it in a way I didn’t look forward to pedaling around before.  So there’s that, too.

But what I didn’t cover before, why I’m reallllly excited about the e-bike is for daily errands; normally I’d use my car, and now I’m using my e-bike.  The bike has become another mode of transportation entirely.  If I need to go to the library to grab some books, it’s easier to take my bike.  If I want to pop down to my favorite antiques store to see what they’ve got in stock, my e-bike is the best (and frankly more fun) way to do it.  Need a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread at the store?  Ditto all that.

Did I mention it’s environmentally friendly and I get a workout in, in a whole new sneaky way?  I’m besotted, and totally convinced e-bikes are the future of transportation.  Check out the video and see if you think so too!
