SALEM — The city of Salem recently expanded its bike share program with the introduction of 20 pedal-assist electric bikes that are now available to ride at Bluebikes stations around the city.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s Shared Streets and Spaces grant program will fully fund the purchase of the e-bikes and fund continued program operations costs. The 20 new e-bikes, as well as about 100 conventional bikes, can be found at 18 stations in Salem.
