Considering California's historical efforts to alleviate air pollution that caused a crisis in cities like Los Angeles in the 1950s, it's no surprise the Golden State is at the forefront of electrification. Now, officials in Healdsburg have endorsed a proposal to help residents to buy e-bikes through rebates..
According to The Press Democrat, council members approved a plan to dip into funds to launch a "new suite" of rebates for e-bikes for qualifying low-income residents.
Whether you ride a traditional bike or an e-bike, cycling is undoubtedly a great form of exercise. In fact, "bike buses" are popping up around the country as a way to get kids moving.
