We purchased E-Bikes, we use them to commute to work, medical appointments go shopping and most other locL travel needs. The biggest drawback(s) are lack of safe places to park them.

its nice you can afford an expensive e bike when most of the population has to cut back to 1 or 2 meals a day so they can afford rent.
Parking is necessary for businesses to survive. Monies should be spent on the needs of the majority of people.
ReplyDefinitely parking and NO bikes should ever be allowed on roads with no shoulder!!!!
ReplyThe majority of people drive. It doesn't make sense to spend a disproportionate amount of money on something used by a very small portion of the population.
ReplyWe aren't Portland and we don't want to be Portland. Stop wasting our money on a very small percentage of the populace. Bend is growing way to fast and parking for cars is needed.
ReplyI think bend lacks parking on the other handing more biking reduces congestion
ReplyI quit going to downtown Bend because the parking is a disaster. Not building parking will NOT decrease vehicle travel it only creates congestion and traffic stress. I have no problem with bike lanes just the spandex nazis that use them.
ReplyBend needs both.
