HEALTH workers in Newcastle will be able to swap cars for e-bikes as part of a pilot program to reduce carbon emissions.

Hunter New England Health (HNEH) staff at Wallsend hit the pavement for special training which will allow them to ride between appointments at other facilities like John Hunter Hospital and Newcastle university.
