In addition to the information session, community members will be able to test ride the e-bikes for free at the event. Those who wish to ride will be asked to sign a waiver and are encouraged to bring a helmet, according to a city release.

On March 20, City Council approved a resolution to move forward with an agreement with Spin to begin operating a fleet of 100 e-bikes in the city.

The bike rental program should be up and running the first week of April, city officials said. Spin also operates 400 e-scooters in the city.
