The Temecula Valley Unified School District "Safe Riders" safety course is designed to teach middle and high school students the fundamentals of safety and the rules of the road for bicycles, electric bicycles (E-Bikes), electric scooters (E-Scooters), and other micromobility devices. Participants will acquire essential riding skills, including emergency maneuvers and proper handling techniques.

The course also covers California laws and regulations specific to bicycles, E-Bikes, E-Scooters, and micromobility devices, helping students understand their responsibilities as riders. Through engaging lessons and practical tips, students will gain the knowledge needed to make informed decisions while riding. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the tools to ride responsibly and safely in various environments.

If your middle or high school student currently rides, or plans to ride, a bike, e-bike, e-scooter (ages 16+), or scooter, they are required to complete an online safety module and pass a test. Please visit your school's website for training and registration.
