Local Cycling Events and Information

Supervisor Jeff Gorell Announces January 24 Community Bike Rodeo and E-Bike Safety Event THOUSAND OAKS, CA — Supervisor Jeff Gorell, in partnership with local law enforcement, fire, schools, and community organizations, invites families to attend a Bike Rodeo & E-Bike Safety Event focused on keeping kids safe. The free, family-friendly event will take place on Saturday, January 24, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Redwood Middle School, located at 233 W. Gainsborough Road in Thousand Oaks. The event is designed to help kids and families learn about essential bike and e-bike safety through hands-on activities and educational resources. Participants will have the opportunity to ride pedal bikes through a guided bike course, visit bike safety booths hosted by local agencies, and learn about e-bike safety, battery safety, proper helmet use, the different classes of e-bikes and how we can join together as a community to promote bike and e-bike safety on our roadways. “It’s critical that we come together to ensure our local kids are safe—especially as e-bike use continues to grow in our communities,” said Ventura County Supervisor Jeff Gorell. “This event brings parents and kids together to learn about safe riding, road safety, and the laws that apply to e-bikes, helping families make informed choices and ride responsibly.” Event highlights include: - Guided Bike Course: Riders can bring their own pedal bikes to navigate an obstacle course designed to build confidence, balance, and safe riding skills. - Battery & E-Bike Safety Education: Learn how to safely use, store, and charge e-bike batteries, and understand the different classes of e-bikes. - Safety Passport Challenge: Visit safety booths, collect passport stamps, and enter to win prizes. - Community Resources: Meet local public safety partners and learn about programs available to support families and youth. This event is made possible through collaboration with the Conejo Valley Unified School District, Conejo Valley Boys & Girls Club, Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency, Conejo Recreation and Park District, California Highway Patrol – Moorpark Division, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, Ventura County Fire Department, the Ventura County Transportation Commission, Kid Krew, Newbury Park Bike Shop and other valued community partners. ### SAFETY RESOURCES Learn about the rules at local parks and trails: conejoopenspace.gov/e-bikes . <https://conejoopenspace.gov/e-bikes/> E-Bike Laws Important information from the Ventura County Sheriff's Office Regarding E-Bikes. California Vehicle Code 312.5 defines an E-bike as: (a) An “electric bicycle” is a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts. (1) A “class 1 electric bicycle,” or “low-speed pedal-assisted electric bicycle,” is a bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour. (2) A “class 2 electric bicycle,” or “low-speed throttle-assisted electric bicycle,” is a bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle, and that is not capable of providing assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour. (3) A “class 3 electric bicycle,” or “speed pedal-assisted electric bicycle,” is a bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 28 miles per hour and equipped with a speedometer. New E-bikes are required to have a class identification marker permanently affixed, which labels the type or class of E-bike you have purchased or are riding. Everyone riding an E-bike is required by law to abide by the California Vehicle Code just like the driver of a motor vehicle or a standard bicycle. Surron, Talaria, Explorer, and similar make electric motorcycles are NOT Electric Bicycles and are NOT street legal. They are sold as Electric Dirt Bikes or Electric Motorcycles and are classified by the California Vehicle Code as motorcycles (400 CVC). These motorcycles must be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles, insured, and the operator must have the proper driver’s license endorsement to operate them on public streets. If these motorcycles are operated on city streets, sidewalks or public places, the rider is subject to receiving a citation and the vehicle can be impounded. A general rule of thumb to follow: If an E-bike has pedals and is able to be propelled by human power and assisted by an electric motor, then it falls within a class I, II, or III E-bike. If there are no pedals and no way for the vehicle to be propelled by human power, only an electric motor, then the vehicle is classified as an electric motorcycle and subject to all the same rules and regulations as a standard motorcycle utilizing a gas engine.

Or that 13 of these repair stations are located near VCFD fire stations, in high-traffic biking communities? Each of these stations features an air pump, tools, and mounts—enabling riders to securely hang a bike, change a tire, adjust brakes and derailleurs, or make any other adjustments.
