The E-asy Access Program has been a huge success, opening up new ways for community members to explore our beautiful parks with free electric bikes during guided rides and pop-up events.
The Emerald Necklace is a beautiful part of the San Gabriel Valley, with parks like Whittier Narrows, Santa Fe Dam, Peck Road Water Conservation Park, and Hilda Solis Overlook Park. Our electric bikes have made it simple and fun for people to explore these trails, from the Hilda Solis Overlook to Whittier Narrows and beyond.
The E-asy Access group rides have made cycling along the Emerald Necklace a joyful experience, helping people connect and improve their well-being. It has been incredibly beneficial for seniors, youth, new riders, and those in rehabilitation. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
Russell McNeil, a participant in our E-asy Access group rides, appreciates ActiveSGV and the E-asy Access team’s efforts, saying, "I love this group and their events. Few things pull the community together, and ActiveSGV does it well. Thank you for all of the excellent rides. They have helped me make new connections in my community."
The pop-up events around the Emerald Necklace have also been a big hit. These events allowed people to try out GoSGV e-bikes on the weekends to explore the local SGV trails and parks.
