    logo_sustainabilityallianceSedona AZ (May 30, 2019) – Susan Amon, owner of Sedona E-Bike Tours, helps residents and visitors understand Sedona from a new angle. Her rides foster “place-based tourism” that deepens knowledge and appreciation of local geography, ecosystems, and history – all from the sustainable comfort of an electric bicycle. “My very business is about mitigating impacts of cars and the pollution they create.” Amon charges her e-bikes with green power through APS’s Green Choice program.

    20190530_SedEbikes_Family_20180830On tour days, Amon meets customers at The Collective in the Village of Oak Creek, and after an introduction to the geology and history of the area, guides riders to a range of trailheads with tips about the best times to find parking, reducing congestion at trailheads during peak times.

    Amon promotes local businesses. After the ride, Amon refers clients to restaurants at The Collective so they can walk to their meal. These referrals also show appreciation for using the site as a meeting spot. To further her impact, Amon independently picks up roadside trash several times per year. Her initiative complements the work of Keep Sedona Beautiful’s Litter Lifters.

    Many customers who take Amon’s tours are considering an e-bike purchase and using the tour as test drive. “I spend a lot of time talking to customers about how an e-bike is like having a second car. Running errands, riding to the gym or trailhead means easy parking and gets them out of their car. I also talk to parents about getting their driving-age kids an e-bike rather than a car as there is no insurance and they’re fun.” Kids learn the rules of the road, and when they do drive a car, they’ll promote bike safety.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
