On Jan. 24, Dana Point Police Services will be teaming up with Orange County Fire Authority to host the city’s first-ever Bicycle and E-Bike Safety Class, a free, family-friendly event at South Shores Church in Dana Point that aims to educate kids, teens and parents on safe riding habits and incident prevention.
“We want to make sure that we are directly involved with keeping, especially, our young e-bike riders safe, so the point of this class is so that we have a direct involvement and they hear it directly from us on safe ways to drive these e-bikes, ride these e-bikes and then also requirements that take place,” said Capt. Frank Gonzalez, Chief of Dana Point Police Services.
“There also isn’t a lot of training out there when it comes to e-bike safety, so I think it’s very important that we take a hands-on approach when it comes to making sure that these riders are safe, because ultimately we want people to enjoy themselves, but we want them to do it safely.”…
