A woman never admits her age, so I’ll just let you know that I am a junior at West Chester University. I am majoring in Marketing and minoring in Accounting. I plan on graduating in Spring 2013. I am Italian, so when reading my blogs imagine I am talking to you with my hands. I have a younger sister, who I love to embarrass. My mom and dad are always there for me and I don’t know what I would do without them. My favorite food is pasta; I could eat pasta every day. I really don’t like iceburg lettuce, it’s disgusting. My favorite football team is the Philadelphia Eagles (duh!). I have seen and know almost every line to all 6 of the Rocky movies. My favorite quote from Rocky “It ain’t over til it’s over”. For me, it just sums up life in six simple words.

Courtney is a 2010 graduate from West Chester University's Communication Studies Department where she spent the majority of her years actively involved planning concerts and interviewing celebs for the school's newspaper, The Quad. She is a lover of all things West Chester which is why she decided to stay and reside here just outside of town after graduation. She's a PR and marketing enthusiast with an undying passion for style and trends. You can find her working at Nich boutique on High Street (where she'll probably offer to become your personal stylist and then end up becoming your friend). And of course she blogs for her new love, westchester-pa.com and her own blog courtneycouture.blogspot.com. You can contact her at courtneyconigliaro@gmail.com or reach out to her on twitter @courtconigs.

George was a public school student for 13 years, an undergraduate elementary education major, a public school teacher for 10 years, twice a graduate student in education, a staff member at a children’s summer camp in Lake Placid for 10 years, and a teacher education faculty member for 13 years. Today, he is an Associate Dean in the College of Education at West Chester University, a member of the Board of School Directors in the Kennett Consolidated School District, and the proud parent of three Kennett High School graduates.

Although George was generally a well-behaved student, he was sent to the hallway several times in 4th grade and almost got detention once in high school.

Dr. Lauren Schofield is a native of Chester County. She was born and raised in Paoli; graduating from Conestoga High School. She developed a passion for community at an early age working at the Upper Main Line YNCA. Combining her strengths of competitive sports and community awareness, Dr Lauren received a Bachelor Of Science degree in Corporate Fitness from the Department of Physical Therapy at Springfield College in Springfield, MA. It was her work as a fitness trainer and a chiropractic assistant that inspired her to return to school four years later to become a chiropractor. After receiving her Doctorate of Chiropractic in December of 1994 from Life University in Atlanta, she returned home to start her career as an associate doctor in a chiropractic office in Kennett Square. In just two years the office grew into one of the largest practices in the tri-state area. Dr. Schofield was instrumental in the integration of allopathic medicine and chiropractic medicine. She was the director of a team of medical doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists working together to achieve the best results for their patients. Dr. Schofield’s almost six-year experience at this extremely successful practice led her to develop a style all her own. In September of 2001, Dr. Schofield was invited to take over a practice in her then hometown of West Chester. Her passion for chiropractic medicine, work experience, and interest in the community fueled Advanced Chiropractic Wellness Center to where it is today. Dr. Schofield remains involved in many charitable and educational groups in the community. She is a Board Member of Chester County Community that Cares, Eastern Chapter of Arthritis Foundation Fundraising Committee Member, Community Volunteers in Medicine Volunteer, Arthritis Foundation Exercise Trainer, Chester County Hospital Event Volunteer, Chester County Chamber Member, Exton Chamber Member, and a Women in Motion Member. Dr. Schofield is on television as a guest on QVC with various health products. She has her own radio show weekly on WCHE 1520 AM called, “Wellness 411,” promoting awareness and education of today’s hot healthcare topics. Advanced Chiropractic Wellness Center and Dr. Schofield are committed to providing patients with the most complete and advanced treatment in a friendly environment.

Hybrid Cycles specializes in the light electrical vehicle market, featuring the largest selection of electric bikes in Chester County PA. Expect to see many innovative products from us as this market evolves. For now, we are focusing on electric powered bicycles, also called "e-bikes," and getting the word out on the many ways to enjoy this innovative product.

Whether it’s for commuting to work, running an errand or just plain fun, know that anything that gets you out of your automobile and onto an electric bike will have a positive impact on the environment, your health, and your wallet. You can get a lot of exercise and expect to lose some weight when riding an electric bicycle. Most everyone who owns an electric bike will tell you that they enjoy using their bike more often and for longer rides than ever before.
Why purchase your electric bike from Hybrid Cycles?

Hybrid Cycles is all about integrity, quality, and innovation. We have one rule: “Treat everyone with dignity and respect." We won’t sell you a product unless we have tested it ourselves, and we are so sure that you will love our bicycles that we back them up with a three-day return policy,* no questions asked.

Don’t buy an electric bike just anywhere! There are few shops like Hybrid Cycles that sell only electric bikes and have the knowledge and experience to sort out the good from the bad. We have up to 20 bikes in store with different models and a broad price range to compare. Most conventional bike shops don't carry electric bikes, and those that do will have only one or two. We represent four of the top-quality brands in the industry that have had a proven track record with our customers, and we constantly seek out new brands and new styles to adapt to our customers' needs.

An electric powered bicycle is subject to the same rules of the road that apply to a regular bicycle. Always wear your helmet, and be sure to familiarize yourself with all current bike laws for your state.

Our electric bikes are an excellent form of transportation for those who are unable to own an automobile.

Riding an electric bike feels every bit as natural as riding a conventional bike, and yet the experience is hard to describe. You truly need to try it for yourself!
