Abstract
Many cities are turning toward more sustainable modes of transportation as they adopt initiatives and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve quality of life. Active transportation is at the center of this shift as city residents untether themselves from car travel and take up walking and cycling as alternatives. One of the most effective alternatives to vehicular travel are bicycles, specifically electric bicycles. Bikeshare programs have been active in North America for decades as an accessible option for those who do not want the costs and responsibilities associated with bicycle ownership.
