B-cycle goes electric

Thanks to a new pilot launched by the city and Capital Metro, 200 more B-cycles are hitting the streets of Austin. B-cycle is phasing out its current standard bikes in favor of electric models. According to the Transportation Department, “The first e-bikes will roll out this spring along with new docking stations that are more flexible, allowing for the shape and number of docks to be arranged in a way best suited to each location.” So get ready for a better, smoother, faster commute.
