Friends,
We need to come together to create collaborative solutions for e-bike safety. What I’m hearing from the community right now is that the guidelines and rules around e-bikes aren't clear, and they aren't working: bikes on the sidewalks, unclear guidelines on age, helmets, and a murky legal framework.
Let’s roll up our sleeves together, so we can develop ideas that allow us to be multi-modal and safely share the road.
In coordination with the leadership of Bend City Councilor Perkins, the City of Bend, the Bend Police Department, and many other community leaders, I will be hosting a conversation about e-bike safety and regulations in our community. Where are the gaps in policy? What can the City and community do to avoid future accidents? Let's talk about it.
Tuesday, July 18, 2023 from 3:00 - 5:00pm.
