On Friday 8/14 we recovered a lost E bike that fell off of a camper on the bridge next to our business on Route 18 in Waterport. We have been trying to locate the owner. We believe they may have been headed to Lakeside State Park. If you can describe the make, model and color of the E bike we would be happy to get it back to its rightful owner. Please share. Thank you!
