Description
Weekly Update, hosted by Aaron Russell, covers stories and conversations from across the Inland Empire.
This week, we take a closer look at the rapid rise of e-bikes across the Inland Empire — and the conversations growing alongside them. From freedom and accessibility to safety concerns and changing city infrastructure, communities throughout the region are adapting to a transportation shift few saw coming.
We hear from Murrieta Mayor John Lavelle about how cities are responding to the growing popularity of e-bikes, visit Rebel Bikes in Murrieta to explore the technology and culture behind the trend, and sit down with Menifee PD to discuss safety, awareness, and the challenges officers are seeing on local roads.
We also hear the story of James McGowan, a young Menifee rider whose perspective on e-bike safety changed after surviving a hit-and-run crash on his way to school.
Plus, local events happening around the Inland Empire this weekend.
