Free e-bikes is really nice but isn’t the issue usually infrastructure? Shoreline doesn’t look particularly bike friendly. The first image that comes up for it in Google maps is actually a big parking lot

Well, the article says they’re doing a “mandatory urban cycling class” for people who receive bikes, so maybe that’ll compensate for the shit infrastructure, LOL.

Looks like an old photo. It was posted in 2022, but all the cars shown are from the '70s or earlier, one of the stores is a Woolworth’s, and the store next to it has a name I can’t quite make out but is written in a very stereotypical mid-century modern font.
After a bit of Internet sleuthing, apparently it was of the Aurora Village Center, which has since been redeveloped into…
…a Home Depot and a Costco, just as car-centric as before (if not even more so). Womp, womp. At least they’ve got a bus station and some afterthought bike share lockers on the outskirts of the parking lot wasteland so that makes it cool, right?
