TRANSIT
STRIKE IN NYC?!?!!?!?!?
Strikes
by public employees are prohibited by NY state law, but the
transit union says it may call a walkout next Monday (Dec 16th)
if there is no movement towards an agreement.
Even if you have a car, check out these restrictions:
If you want to enter or leave Manhattan south of 96th Street,
private vehicles must have at least four occupants on weekdays
and two on weekends. The same occupancy restrictions would apply
to portions of some major highways, including the Long Island
Expressway, the FDR Drive, the Gowanus Expressway, the Prospect
Expressway, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Belt Parkway.
So what can you do?
Make yourself independent of this whole mess!
GET YOURSELF AN ELECTRIC BIKE
OR SCOOTER. No traffic restrictions, get to where you are
going on time, know exactly how long it will take to get there,
and, believe it or not, the cost to operate it for a whole year
is the cost of one or two subway rides! |

York City is more exciting than ever at this festive time of
year. The great tree at Rockefeller Center, the hustle and bustle
of holiday shoppers, Radio City Music Hall's Christmas Spectacular.
. . if you haven't been in for the holidays before, this is
the year to do it (added benefit: visiting NYCEwheels!). Besides,
where else in the world can you see Santa on every other street
corner? Speaking of Santa, what will you leave for your loved
ones under the tree this year? A nice electric scooter, perhaps?

First
Birthday Part: an exciting recap
We
were so excited about the party we tapped the keg at 5:30
and then waited for people to come. We didn’t have to
wait long, either, even though the party didn’t officially
start until 7pm. Friends and customers started arriving at
about 6, probably because that is when the Gallery next store
opened their exhibit “Bridges.” Thanks to all of
you who made it out, it was really fun to relax on the other
side of the counter with you and toast our first year in business.
It made us feel really good that so many of our clients came
out.

| Energy
in Schools Conference
NYCEwheels
went up to Albany for the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association’s
Energy in Schools Conference. The conference hosted nearly
300 education professionals from New York to Maine. Their
focus was alternative energy types and uses and ways to introduce
these ideas to their students. The whole idea being that exposing
one teacher to green energy is the same as exposing all of
his or her students for the rest of his or her career. Educating
our children is building a sustainable tomorrow. OK, off the
soapbox.
We brought the LA
Free Lite, the Panasonic
Folder, the Currie
E-Ride, the
Charly and the
Pacelite 705 for conference participants to test drive.
In all, we gave close to 100 test drives in between conference
sessions. That’s 100 more people who will go on to share
their ride story with someone else (or possibly all of their
students!) and that’s twice as many people exposed to
another alternative means of transportation. Success.
Aside from us, there were many other electric cars, hybrid
cars and solar cars available to ride and drive.
