Good call by OSP! There are plenty of underutilized paths out there. Be sure to ride responsibly and enjoy the beauty of our state!

Sad though– the (R) sponsor from Florida is quoted "This bill incentivizes the assembly and production of bicycles here at home, protecting American workers and promoting a widely-enjoyed hobby with countless health benefits."
It's like cycling as transportation is 100% foreign to a Floridian.

It's not like there is a dearth of information about how ebike transportation is affordable and sustainable for citizens and municipalities alike.

Is Denver’s Big Bet on E-Bikes Paying Off?
Since 2022, the Colorado city has handed out close to 15,000 vouchers in a bid to cut traffic, clean the air and spark an electric cycling boom.

Has the media forgotten the ebike hype they built in 2019-2022? It was inescapable in this sort of context and yet here we are 3 years later...hundreds of words on the growing need for sustainable and affordable transportation and they're taking up space talking about peer-to-peer carshare?!

Here's how it adds up for one small business working with Chinese suppliers to produce our ebike designs:
25% - 2018 Section 301
10% - 2025 Increase Feb 1
10% - 2025 Increase Mar 4
25% - Venezuelan Oil Importer Tariff
34% - Liberation Day Tariff

=104% tariffs on our imports from China

If you're headed here from somewhere else, hit up The Street Trust to reserve a low-cost Vvolt ebike rental to use during the event days.

Haha- isn't it fun to have an extra 10% import tariff in place since posting this less than a month ago!?
Need to update the graphic with "45%"
