![]() Hello Sunday. October 24 2021 ![]() Picture this: you invite your out-of-town friends to Asheville, take them down the new French Broad greenway + stop at The Wedge or Plēb Urban Winery for happy hour — all on 2 wheels.
Ashevillians are also poised to see that trajectory continue at a local level. In 2019, the City of Asheville commissioned a feasibility study that recommended the city adopt an e-bike share system over the next 5 years — and the last we’ve heard the city is deliberating the details with the Bicycle Pedestrian Task Force + Multimodal Transportation Commission. While we’re waiting on a public bike share program, here are some rental spots where you can pedal in style now.
Note: The legal age to operate electric bikes is 16 years old.
Ready to purchase? We’ve got recs for local suppliers too:
Bonus: On Sat., Oct. 16, from 1-3 p.m., you can also take a test ride of Buzz Bicycles e-bikes at this Bhramari Brewery pop-up event.

#AVLTODAY
Remember when we shared with y’all back in August about the legacy of the Cherokee Syllabary? A new piece of that story has now unfolded.
Sequoyah, the inventor of the Cherokee’s original written language, will now have his own day, thanks to a new proclamation from Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. This Friday, Oct. 15, will be known as Sequoyah Day in recognition of the 200th anniversary of the syllabary’s invention. #DYK that your photos and quotes could be featured in our newsletter?
