Education

The SBBC+ Education Programs are developed for Youth, Adults...Everyone!

Below are the resources and education programs SBBC+ is offering all members of our community the information they need to safely enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.

Youth Education

Before riding a bicycle, everyone should know the rules of the road. Remember in California everyone under the age of 17 must wear a helmet. Below are links to SAFE Moves, which shows the kind of youth education we support and Streets Are for Everyone, which hosts an annual student competition for the best traffic public service announcement.

eBikes

E-bikes have quickly become a popular way for the young and old to get around town. Their large batteries and powerful motors make cycling accessible to a much broader audience. Please review and share the following information to keep e-bike riding safe for everyone.

Adult Education

Whether 18 or 85 you can always learn something new. Below are links to the League of American Bicyclists videos and reference sheets for everything from the safety check before starting to the ride home.
