E-Bikes & Youth Safety

E-Bike Classes
Middle School Bike Skills 102
E-Bikes are typically faster, heavier, and less maneuverable than regular bikes. Come learn how to ride yours safely this summer in one of our new MSBS E-Bike classes. You’ll need your own legal e-bike and helmet. Bring a parent along too. MSBS 101 or the online Smart Cycling class is a pre-requisite.
MSBS 101 is our regular summer bike skills and safety training course designed for incoming middle and high school students who want to bike on their own or with friends to school (and really anywhere). Learn the rules of the road along with defensive biking tips, practice your riding on the blacktop, and then put it all together with a ride on local streets.
We are also offering a new basic bike maintenance and repair class (MSBS 103) for those who want to learn how to change a flat tire or put a chain back on themselves instead of waiting around on a street corner for a parent to come fetch them.
Check out all these classes and sign up by visiting cupertino.gov/saferoutes/msbs

Bike to Work & Wherever Days
Need encouragement to get out there and walk, scooter, or bike? We’ve got you covered! Thursday, May 14 is Bike to Work Day and our very own Bicycle Pedestrian Commission is partnering with Mayor Moore to bring you an extra special energizer station on the corner of Stelling and McClellan. Bike by between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. and grab a free snack, beverage, and BTWD gift bag (remember to pledge to ride so you’re registered for the gift).
You’re also encouraged to bike to wherever you’re going on May 15 and 16, this year’s Bike to Wherever Days. More information about Bike to Work/Wherever Days and the complete list of energizer stations can be found here.
