EPISODE 127, SEASON 3:
In this episode, I connect with
Jocelyn Vande Velde, Marketing Director, Bosch e-Bike Systems NA
We discuss how she got into the business, the empowering nature of electric-assist bikes, and the importance of high-quality battery-based components and systems
The e-bike revolution is here! Having a little assistance to smooth out a steep hill, make a long ride less daunting, and provide the ability to keep up with a loved one or cherished friend, these and many more are solid reasons why e-bikes are the fastest-selling segment in the bicycle market worldwide. And that doesn’t even take cargo bikes and bike logistics into consideration.
As I mentioned I am taking the Active Towns Tour to Colorado in Aug/Sept and to The Netherlands for the International Cargo Bike Festival in Oct/Nov if you are interested in potentially tagging along, please drop me an email: john@activetowns.org

Background:
Hi Everyone, my name is John Simmerman.
I’m a health promotion professional with over 30 years of experience and my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization of how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.
In 2012 I launched the non-profit Advocates for Healthy Communities as an effort to help promote and create healthy, active places.
Since that time I’ve been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be, in order to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a “Culture of Activity” for “All Ages & Abilities”.
My Active Towns suite of channels feature my original video and audio content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.
Thanks for tuning in, I hope you find this content helpful.
