A New Kind of Commute

Local doctor Linda Groen loves to bike but wasn’t always up for the uphill grind to the Owen Sound hospital. So she turned to an e-bike and hasn’t looked back.

What inspired you to get an e-bike?

I used to have to get off my bike and push my bike and my lunch up the escarpment, which wasn’t very enjoyable. Hence the e-bike.

How do you like it? Any surprises? Any challenges?

In terms of in town, I use it more than I thought I would… If it’s not the nicest weather I’ll still hop on it because I enjoy the exercise as well as being outside.

Any advice for others who might be considering an e-bike?

Buy it! Make sure you have good parts.
