We gave out 17 (!) test rides on the electric bikes yesterday and that made it fun for us! Almost every one who came by our tent in the "garage" was game for a test ride, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and warm welcome from Sustainable NE. We also loved the tea room and the tamales. See you at Moving Planet!
