As Cork Bike Week continues this week until Sunday, véloistes of all shades have been encouraged to get in the saddle and explore their locality in the city and county. The wE-bike initiative aims to promote the increasingly-popular machines as an everyday commuting option in Cork, while displaying their economical and ecological advantages. I get plenty of exercise on the flat and the power assists me with headwinds and when the road rises,” says West Cork woman Síun Kearney. The new wE-Bike campaign, promotes the use of e-bikes across Cork city and county during Cork Bike Week (September 19 - 27). Meanwhile, for Cork City woman Orla Burke, it's one less headache in the daily hustle and bustle of raising a young family.
