Wrapping Up Bike Month with E-Bikes

Some of the E-bikes I got to ride at Charged Up 2014!

I just wanted to highlight what a wonderful time we had at Interbike & Outdoor Retailer's Charged Up Media Event. This was very different from the usual "trade show" atmosphere because the participating companies were all outdoors, allowing us journalists hands on experience with E-bikes.

Really for many of us, this was our first time riding a powered or pedal-assisted bicycle. All the same the event hosts were amazing and we felt comfortable enough to try most everyone there. You should have seen all the smiling-happy faces! I also got to meet People for Bikes President, Tim Blumenthal. XTreme XTraining has supported PFB since they practically began. It really was a super event and gave me a LOT more insight on what the E-Bike movement is all about. What a HOOT!!!
