0684-Radi0: ‘E-Bikes’ in New Canaan (Sept. 26, 2024)

This week, we talk to New Canaan Police Officer Nicole Vartuli about electric bikes or “e-bikes,” whose misuse here is causing serious safety concerns. Please also note that Officer Vartuli will be at New Canaan Library from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5 to educate the community on scooter and motorized bike safety. During that event—details here—the organization Northeast Community Cycles will collect bicycles at an outdoor drop-off location. Please note that rusty bikes cannot be accepted, nor can scooters, plastic toddler bikes or skateboards.
