E-bike Lovers and the Johns Hopkins Merkin Center proudly present a screening of the documentary "Only Lazy Americans E-bike" in Charlotte, NC. See https://independentpicturehouse.org/movies/only-lazy-americans-e-bike/ This documentary is an E-bike Lovers Production. When a Dutchman is struck by a mysterious neurological illness that leaves him nearly bedridden, doctors tell him the only path to recovery is exercise. He buys an e-bike, and sets out on a 4,685-mile solo ride across America. Along the way, he meets critics, celebrates advocates, and discovers how a controversial technology is transforming lives and communities. What begins as a personal recovery journey evolves into a broader exploration of sustainability and mobility, as he discovers how e-bikes empower communities—from veterans to people living with disabilities.
