In Santa Barbara, electric bikes have achieved a new critical mass in the past two years when BCycle first launched its electric-bike-share program downtown. Bikes here are parked in clusters of three in special charging docks installed in 66 specified locations on streets and sidewalks. As of the end of July, these bikes accounted for 170,000 trips taken, 590,000 vehicle miles traveled, and roughly 600,000 pounds of carbon dioxide offset.
