BEBA’s E-Bike Day Causes a stir
An unusual sight greeted visitors to the House of Lords on Tuesday 10th May, as ‘The Bicycle Library’ Red London Bus and dozens of electric bikes turned out for BEBA’s (British Electric Bicycle Association) Parliamentary E-bike Day hosted by Lord Laird.
The purpose of the day was to promote the many advantages of electric bikes to MPs, Ministers and those in influential positions who may otherwise never experience an electric bike and may never realise the potential health benefits, congestion busting and financial savings of owning one.
The format of the day included presentations from electric bicycle Champions, City of London Police, Karta Healy of The Bicycle Library, Laurence Boon from Cyclescheme as well as cycling authorities such as Patrick Lingwood from The Department for Transport. BEBA members including industry retailers and manufacturers also attended.
Following the seminar, attendees were invited into Black Rod’s Garden where there was an opportunity to visit the Bicycle Library and try out a number of electric bikes being exhibited.
“We were really delighted with the turn out and the response was excellent. You never really understand what an electric bike is all out until you ride one, it’s only then you see what we call the ‘electric smile’. The day helped to realise the benefits of electric bikes for the audience and will certainly be a memorable day for the electric bike industry”.
