Barbara is a primary care physician who is originally from New York, but has also spent a lot of time in Portland. She supports Mobi by Shaw Go by encouraging her patients to try it as an alternative to driving to her office!
We asked Barbara a few questions about her experience with Mobi by Shaw Go. Thanks Barbara!
Mobi: When was the last time you rode a bike?
Barbara: I ride 5-6 days a week. Very regularly.
Mobi: How do you integrate Mobi into your daily routine?
Barbara: I can take it to work, shopping or to meet friends on Commercial Drive . Stations are very convenient for me.
Mobi: Where is your favourite place to Mobi to and Why? (Restaurant, attraction, coffee shop, friends house?)
Barbara: I love riding the seawall around Stanley Park and Olympic Village to Granville Island etc…...
Mobi: What is your favorite part of Mobi by Shaw Go?
Barbara: Convenience of spontaneously deciding to jump on a bike instead of walking or taking a bus. I hardly ever bus anywhere as I can ride faster than I can get places by bus. I have been able to give up my car completely!
Mobi: Do you have any Mobi by Shaw Go tips or tricks?
Barbara: For busy stations check on line about how many bikes are available when you can.
Mobi: Words of encouragement for new users?
Barbara: It gets really easy as you use the bikes more often. Practice locking and releasing the helmet from the cable on the side and sliding the cable into the handle.
Mobi: Is there anything else you would like to add? Do you have a funny story? Embarrassing moment? Or something you are dying to share?
Barbara: Can’t wait for next February Rider Challenge! Winter riding is fun! Bring your rain gear!
