VIDEO: Cape Breton meal delivery company launches e-bike program
New Dawn Meals on Wheels in Cape Breton just launched an e-bike delivery program called “Meals on Two Wheels.”
“For this program, we partnered with Velo Cape Breton to train our volunteers in bike safety so they felt confident on the roads delivering our meals to clients,” explained Sara Roth, manager at New Dawn Meals on Wheels.
The “Meals on Two Wheels” program is new to the Cape Breton delivery company and marks the first time the organization has made deliveries using active transportation.
“Up until this point, we delivered meals all through volunteer efforts and volunteers use their own personal gas-powered vehicles for delivery,” said Roth.
