Terri Bond used to be an avid biker, but now she finds herself using electric bikes more often. Bond even calls her e-bike her “magic carpet ride.” “It made us get out and enjoy the fresh air, take on the trails,” she said. Bond and multiple other e-bike users spoke in support of the bikes and their ability to expand access to less able-bodied riders. The bike’s potential for increased accessibility to the park system was supported by some members of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. “Our trails are intended to make parts of our community and nature in our community accessible to the widest audience possible,” said advisory board member Laura Burton at Tuesday evening’s meeting. “Anything that makes it more accessible for people to get on our trails and enjoy our trail system, I think we really need to consider.”
