What are electric bikes?
Electric bikes (also known as e-bikes and electric assist bikes) are bicycles that amplify your pedaling power thanks to an electric drive system that helps propel you forward. E-bikes can look just like a traditional bike with similar shapes, construction, and features, but in additional to the shifters, brakes, and handlebars you would find on a regular bike, electric bikes pack in a motor, battery, and typically a controller that lets you choose how much power the system provides. There are e-bikes made for all kinds of riding, from rugged mountain trails to bike paths and open roads, so no matter where you roll, there’s an electric bike ready to take you there.
No matter if you’re new to bikes or well-seasoned on two wheels, Trek electric bikes amplify fun and supercharge possibilities for any kind of rider. From pepping up your pedals on the path to feeling a never-ending tailwind up steep canyon roads, or cruising with extra support through errands and commutes, our e-bikes will help you add a boost of power to your next bike, so you can ride farther, ride faster, and ride more often.
Test Ride One on Tuesday, June 6 at the Kaiserman JCC

Attachment Needs in Adult Relationships with Kate Forest
2023-06-09 12:00 - 13:00 | Kaiserman JCC, 45 Haverford Rd, Wynnewood, PA, 19096, United States
FREE Class – Registration below!
Too often, we only think of the attachment needs of children. But our relationship needs don’t change simply because we age. Our culture’s emphasis on independence, and the negative connotations of the term “co-dependency,” leads us to shun our needs. But when we understand the basic science behind attachment and learn the steps that create strong bonds, we open the window into the way to create and maintain relationships that meet our attachment needs at every stage of life and through a variety of relationships.

Kate Forest is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience with families of all configurations. She focuses exclusively on helping clients create and strengthen romantic relationships. She is LGBTQ+ affirming.
