Awesome “Lightweight and Electric Bikes Could Be Coming to Your Local Bikeshare System”

“Dear PoPville,

I write part-time for Big Think and was contacted recently by a PR rep from PBSC Urban Solutions, the company that designs/supplies the bikes and stations used by Capital Bikeshare and other cities’ systems. They recently unveiled a new family of bicycle models that could be integrated into existing systems should the local company be interested in expanding. Included in this new set is an electric bicycle, which I imagine would be very enticing to folks who trek the various hills in town.

Not sure if local DC vehicle regulations would accept a motor-aided bike, but it certainly is interesting. I’ll reiterate that it’s not for certain that Capital Bikeshare would bring in the newer, lighter bikes — just that they now have the option. As a daily rider, I hope they make the move.”

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
