Pedals + power — 7/18/2024

front cover of Hippo news, showing red e-bike leaning against stone wall, with title pedals plus power

If you like the idea of taking a bicycle for exercise, transportation or just a different way to see the world but don’t like the thought of difficult-to-pedal hills, maybe an e-bike is for you. Just as it sounds, these electric-motor-powered bikes can give you a little extra oomph when you need it and help all bikers keep up with the pack. Image above and on the cover is of a Rail 8 from Trek Bicycle Hooksett (photo by John Fladd).

Also on the cover Shakespeare on the Green returns to Saint Anselm College for the next two weekends (page 14). Food Truck Fridays try to make the last lunch of the work week a little something special (page 24). Brian Glowacki and Friends head to Beans & Greens in Gilford for a night of laughs on Friday, July 19 (page 32).
