Bikes

News 8's Adam Krueger finds out how these bikes are helping people ditch their cars for a greener method of transportation.



David Dennis, owner of Lite Foot Bikes, said the bikes will get around 150 miles per gallon of gas.

To use the bikes, you simply pedal the bike up to 5 miles per hour, release the clutch, then the engine starts, and you begin to cruise at 20-25 mph.

The shop is located at Manchaca Road and South Lamar.

For more details about the bikes visit,
