Arlington Bike of the Week series is an opportunity for people in Arlington to tell us more about how they use their bikes to explore Arlington. Learn more about Roland and his bike below.

Originally my wife was the first to own a Tern GSD, but I was using it so much that in March of 2021 we bought this bike.  At the time, my daughter had just become eligible to drive and I made the decision to give her my car and rely on the bike for 90% of my transportation needs. This includes everything from commuting to work, grocery shopping, doctor’s appointments, hardware store runs etc. I average about 300 miles a month which adds up to 2000 total miles since I purchased the bike in March!

My favorite place to ride in Arlington would be the Arlington Loop because that’s my commuter route and I love riding along the river. What I love most about my e-bike is that at 64 years old and with two very bad knees, I can get out and make an impact on traffic congestion, reduce emissions, carry any amount of stuff, and make myself healthier in the process.
