Electric Assist Bicycles Are Here!
Thanks to federal funding received by the Cities of Milwaukee and Wauwatosa as well as private philanthropy Bublr will be adding nearly 400 electric assist bicycles into the Bublr system over the next few months. 100 e bikes are already out in the system with the rest rolling out as fast as we can build them! Electric bikes will allow more ages and abilities to ride further and more often! Bublr is so excited about this exciting addition to the system and grateful to our partners for providing funding to make it happen!

Healthy County Challenge
You've possibly heard of
County Executive David Crowley's Healthy County Initiative. Well on April 30th at 10am the Healthy County team will be meeting at South Shore Park and taking a bike ride to Grant Park and back. Seeing as how Bublr has a relatively new station at South Shore Park, joining the ride on a Bublr would be a perfect opportunity to get out on a Saturday morning for some fresh air and a ride on the Oak Leaf Trail.

Federal Register: New Car Assessment
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation (DOT) is accepting comments on its New Car Assessment Program through May 9th. The program provides star ratings for crash protection and rollover resistance, and recommends particular advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies and identifies the vehicles in the marketplace that offer the systems that pass New Car Assessment Program performance test criteria for those systems. Although the ADAS technologies include increased crash avoidance measures it is noteworthy that the crash protection rating still ignores what happens to people outside the vehicle. This is particularly important to Bublr and other bike riders since SUVs and trucks are 50% more likely to kill cyclists and pedestrians in a crash as compared to cars. You can submit a comment to the NHTSA asking that the Crash Protection rating program include the impact to people outside the vehicle and not just the occupants here:
