She thanked the Police Department for the electric bike informational meeting that was held in District 6. She encouraged everyone to share safety information regarding electric bikes with kids and their parents because electric bikes can be complex. Some require helmets for individuals under 18 and some may require helmets for all ages, or there are also electric bikes that are illegal to ride on public streets. She noted that a representative from a local middle school will be handing out the flyers during registration and Council Member Meeks encouraged others to do the same.
