2. Assist with the planning, organizing and implementation of community showcases highlighting the commercial, personal and ecological benefits of using electric-assisted cycles, to stimulate and promote interest in inclusive cycling, parks and healthy living;
3. Assist with monthly newsletter, local canvassing, and social media to inform the public of our programs and activities;
