Shared Mobility Inc.

E-bike safety education is a cornerstone of Shared Mobility Inc.'s work, woven throughout our programs to ensure riders have the knowledge and confidence to ride safely.

Yesterday, Steve Bratspis of our CDPHP Cycle Team represented SMI at the Walk, Bike & Roll New York Symposium in Tarrytown, NY, where he presented on our approach to e-bike safety education. Drawing from lessons learned across our e-bike rebate initiatives, bikeshare systems, and other mobility programs, Steve highlighted the importance of pairing access to e-bikes with comprehensive safety education to support safe and successful adoption.

Thank you to New York Bicycling Coalition for inviting us to speak, and thank you to the organizers for bringing together transportation professionals, advocates, and community leaders committed to advancing active transportation across New York.

Congratulations to CDPHP Cycle for celebrating their 10th bikeshare season in the Capital District! 🎉

Thanks to Capital District Transportation Authority - CDTA, we're excited for another strong season of bikeshare. 🚲

The weather is giving summer feels, so we gathered most of the staff earlier this week for a short bike ride to Buffalo City Hall's Observation Deck and then headed to Rosie's Handcrafted Ice Cream on West Utica Street for a sweet treat! 🍧 But not before paying a visit to GObike's founder and newly appointed Parking Commissioner Justin Booth! With bikeshare, less planning is needed for warm-weather skits like these!

Check out our organization's Project Manager Alex Maccallini’s latest blog exploring the benefits and challenges of expanding adaptive bike access and how adaptive bicycles can help create a more inclusive future for mobility.

CDPHP Cycle is marking its 10th bikeshare season and our team in Albany is already observing RECORD-BREAKING usage on the mixed fleet of 500 e-bikes and traditional bikes. Capital District Transportation Authority - CDTA , who owns the bikeshare system we staff, is anticipating a record number of rides this year, perhaps as many as 125,000, up from 100,000 last year.

We’re excited to see another carshare option launch in Buffalo—more access means more opportunity for residents across the city.
