In person at Como Park in St. Paul — West Picnic Grounds – west of Estabrook Drive & Midway Parkway (we meet near the bathroom building).
After riding regular road bikes for over 6o years, Doug purchased an electric bike (e-bike) in early 2024. In this talk, Doug will share the research he did on e-bikes and his experience using them. The presentation will explore types, costs, benefits, drawbacks, and regulations of these increasingly popular vehicles. Rover members are encouraged to bring their own e-bikes to the meeting if they use one.
Doug has been retired for five years after a 43 year career in K-12 education. He is now an active volunteer, including leading hikes for the Rovers. Doug’s bicycling adventures have taken him to France, Ireland, Czech Republic, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. He has also participated in week-long organized bike rides in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Minnesota. He is still not very good at fixing his own flat bike tires.
