Background
Hi, I’m Mark, an avid cyclist and new eBiker…
I fell in love with cycling… literally, since the age of 5 when I rode my first 2-wheeler into a fire hydrant and went head over heels because I did not know where the brake was…
By Boulder standards, I’m a “mild but avid” road bike rider over 65. I’ve done lots of cycling and mountain biking around the state; ridden the Bicycle Tour of Colorado twice; ridden Tour of the Moon in Grand Junction 4 times.
I was definitely one of those hard-core cycling traditionalists that used to get upset when someone with a motor driven bike would zoom past me without announcing; rumbling something like “that SOB should be pedaling like me”. No longer…
After multiple surgeries that required me to use an e-Bike or not ride a bike at all, I learned that not all e-Bike riders are cheaters. In fact, e-Bikes serve an incredibly valuable service for people with disabilities – short term and long term. Many seniors that have not ridden a bicycle in years now ride e-Bikes with ease. Moms and Dads load their kids/dogs into cargo e-Bikes and enjoy trails together. The more people that get out riding their bikes and e-bikes than driving their cars, the better.
e-Biking safely will help us reduce our Brown Cloud air pollution in the Denver metro region year-round.
We’re a team of Colorado based marketing/print/graphic design professionals with over 30 years industry digital marketing background, working to improve e-Biking (and cycling) safety and awareness. We’re all cyclists and/or e-Bikers that want to keep our Colorado Multi Use paths safe for everyone to use.
