“Don’t ever let anyone tell you that riding an e-bike is cheating! You are riding. Period. And you are pedaling and getting exercise. Movement really is medicine.” -Pete Staylor

Join us for an information session on anything and everything e-bike!

Pete Staylor will be our presenter. Pete is 72 years young, and has been married for 50 years. He’s got 9 grandchildren!

Pete is a 22 year participant in the Arthritis Foundation’s California Coast Classic (CCC) - a 525 mile cycling tour from San Francisco to Los Angeles. He has ridden the tour 14 times and volunteered 8.

Pete rides with osteoarthritis in both knees and shoulders. He started riding after his first set of SYNVISC (knee injections) in 2002. He had a total of 42 injections and 2 meniscus repairs which allowed him to ride a regular bike.

In 2014 he had both knees replaced simultaneously. The following year he attempted two arthritis rides back to back covering the Oregon and California coasts - 888 miles in 14 days. Unfortunately his right knee “blew up” and he was only able to ride about half of the total distance. When the rides ended, he felt his riding days were over, even giving away most of his cycling gear including two nice road bikes.

Pete stayed involved with the CCC, volunteering the next two years. In the summer of 2018, he discovered e-bikes. After extensive research, he purchased his first e-bike and spent the next three months training and smiling as he rode up hills and into the wind.

E-bikes turned out to be a GAME CHANGER!!! Pete thought his riding days were over - now you can’t stop him.

Come hear from our e-bike enthusiast about riding a pedal assist bike, types of e-bikes, the importance of battery management, and so much more!!
