CAPE CHARLES, Va. — "As construction on the Eastern Shore Rail Trail nears completion, a new business is preparing to help residents and visitors take advantage of the region's newest outdoor attraction.

"The trail, which is expected to be finished by the end of the month, has already inspired local entrepreneur Gordon Campbell to open #BlackDuckCyclery, a bike and e-bike rental shop designed to serve trail users.

" 'To me it was just a natural fit for the tourism atmosphere that we have here in Cape Charles,' Campbell said.

"Campbell, who already owns several businesses on Virginia's Eastern Shore, said Black Duck Cyclery will offer bike and e-bike rentals, sales and repair services. He hopes to eventually expand the shop's repair offerings so riders can bring in their own bicycles for maintenance.

" 'We'll have rental sales and repair services,' Campbell said. 'Eventually we'll work our way up to anybody could bring in a bike and get it repaired.' "

The City of Victoria is seeking input on a new #EBikeShare system that will add to travel options for both residents and visitors.

Members of the public can let the city know where they would like to see #EBikeParking zones situated by adding virtual pins to a digital map by Sept. 24.

When the #BikeShare system launches — the plan is for a 2026 start — e-bikes and helmets will be available in the designated parking zones for rent through a smartphone app.

E-bike trips will start and end only in the zones.

The public can consider placement in locations near existing bike lanes and key destinations, as well as in easy-to-access spots around intersections.

The city has 44 kilometres of bike routes in place and more on the way.

“Bike share aligns with the city’s goals around mobility, sustainability and equity,” the city said in a statement. “It provides more affordable and clean #transportation options for people while also supporting a strong #tourism industry in Victoria.”

As of 2022, about one in three trips in the city has been made by walking, cycling or rolling, the city said, which is one of the highest rates in #Canada.
