One of his missions within his municipality was to introduce a bonus of €150 for the purchase of an electric bike. “I had the idea of offering this to the local college because I told myself that more and more people were buying an electric bike. And for us, with the cuestas, you still have to be quite sturdy without electrical assistance. It might be a little disgusting“, she explains.
“Me, I’m not ashamed to say that I ride an electric bike because without it, I wouldn’t go as far and I wouldn’t have the desire to do as much.“, she says.
