Oregon Environmental Council Highlights TCNF E-Bike Booklet


A bike parked by the side of the street. We're glad Portland's BIKETOWN program encourages greater bike use, but some of BIKETOWN's advice incorrectly describes Oregon bike law.

The Oregon Environmental Council (OEC) recently published an article called “E-Bikes: Rules of the Road & Why We Love ‘Em.” Their post highlights the benefits, joys, and convenience of incorporating an e-bike into one’s daily life. They include testimonials from people who use e-bikes for family travel, to go camping or to keep doctor’s appointments, and as an alternative to commuting by car or motorcycle.

The OEC’s post also linked to TCNF’s newly-released free booklet on the rights and responsibilities of e-bike riders—E-Bike Rights: A Legal Guide for E-Bike Riders—which you can read more about here.
