Pedaling Progress

BikeWALK Winchester started as an idea in 2023 — now it's a full-fledged nonprofit with community walks, bike rides, and a seat at the table with the city. Co-founders Kara Capelli and Steve Policastro join Janet to catch up on everything that's happened since their last visit, from monthly "TalkWALKs" through Winchester's neighborhoods to landing a spot for a bike and pedestrian advisory committee in the city's new strategic plan. They also dig into one of the biggest questions people are asking right now: what actually counts as an e-bike? Kara and Steve break down the different classes, why the topic matters more than ever with the holidays approaching, and where to find trustworthy information before buying one for yourself or your kids.
