World Bicycle Day this Thursday – are you interested in an eBike?

June 3, 2021

Did you know this Thursday (3 June) is World Bicycle Day? World Bicycle Day aims to celebrate the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle, which has been in use for two centuries. The week also recognises the bicycle’s simplicity, affordability, reliability and positive impact on health and the environment in regards to travel.

As part of the awareness week, Ebikebrum are conducting a study to research health and wellbeing improvements through the use of e-bikes for commuting and personal journeys.

If you are interested in taking part in the study or finding out more about an eBike, why not speak to one of our eBike specialists on World Bike Day on Thursday 3 June:

• Outside Hallam Restaurant, Sandwell Hospital – 9.30am – 12.30pm
