San Elijo Hills families have a nearby opportunity to learn about bicycle and e-bike safety—and for students to earn a San Marcos Unified School District riding permit. A workshop led by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office will take place at Double Peak School on Tuesday, September 22, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The workshops are offered by San Marcos Unified in collaboration with the Sheriff’s Office and the City of San Marcos. They cover rider safety and align with the city’s e-bike ordinance, which requires e-bike riders to be at least 12 years old. After completing a workshop, students receive SMUSD permit stickers for their bike and helmet.
Remaining workshops:
- Tuesday, September 15, 4:30–5:30 p.m. — La Mirada Academy, 3697 La Mirada Drive
- Tuesday, September 22, 4:30–5:30 p.m. — Double Peak School, 111 San Elijo Road
- Tuesday, September 29, 5–6 p.m. — San Marcos Middle School, 650 W. Mission Road
- Tuesday, October 6, 5–6 p.m. — Woodland Park Middle School, 1270 Rock Springs Road
Students can attend any session, regardless of which school they attend. They must bring a parent or guardian, their bicycle or e-bike, and a helmet. The Sheriff’s Office workshop listing does not list an advance-registration requirement or fee. Questions can be sent to Communications@smusd.org.
