Is this the Biggest Controversy in Cycling?

Coming up on this episode of the Mechanics of Transportation and the RVA Bike Scene, it’s all about e-bikes–what are they, what’s the difference between them and e-moto-bikes and what’s going on in the Virginia General Assembly about how to regulate them and get people and politicians to understand the difference. 

Plus, me and my guest John Hamilton of the Virginia Bicycling Federation talk about the big bike bill that almost was.
