O'Hearn (R) and her daughter at their business in Grand Bend
Day trippers and cottagers in the Grand Bend area have an alternative to sitting in traffic – rent a bike or electric kick scooter from a local business looking to turn Lambton Shores a bit more green.
Colleen O’Hearn, Owner of Cottage Cruisers in Grand Bend says that their solution provides an opportunity to see Grand Bend as you’ve never seen it before.
Although bike rentals are nothing new, O’ Hearn saw a gap in the market in Grand Bend,
Within the bustling town, one of the biggest benefits to using alternative transportation is the speed and accessibility – with many businesses and attractions in the area, out of reasonable walking distance.
O’Hearn also says that the environmental impacts are self evident,
She also said that she hopes that local businesses and organizations in the area as well as municipal government will help support the initiative by supporting alternative transportation infrastructure – creating bike lanes, bike storage and parking, and more.
