Local Youth and Teen e-Bike Ridership is Surging. Join Bingham Cyclery Park City for a Free Youth e-Bike Safety Night on Tuesday, March 4 from 6:00-7:00 pm.
PARK CITY, Utah (February 24, 2025) – Bingham Cyclery is committed to the safety of all cyclists, and at our Quarry Village store, we see firsthand how many teens and youth are riding e-bikes of all types to school, sports programs, and to socialize and recreate with friends and family.
Bingham Cyclery Park City, located at 3156 Quarry Rd, #3-N, invites students and parents to participate in a free e-bike safety clinic on Tuesday, March 4 from 6:00-7:00 pm.
“We’re in a unique position to witness the actual ridership of our community” says Bingham Cyclery owner Angela Wright. “We love that so many kids and their parents are choosing to ride to work, school, and other activities. We also see a lot of unsafe riding practices, with very few opportunities for education. We plan to make education more accessible by hosting more safety events with our community partners.”
E-bikes are excellent transportation, mobility, and recreation options for a diverse population of Utahns. E-bikes are an amazing tool for helping to reduce vehicle traffic, congestion, and pollution, while improving the health and well-being of those who ride them–as long as it’s done safely.
There are 3 aspects of safe riding that Bingham Cyclery intends to convey to riders and their parents.
- An e-bike’s integrity is crucial to safe riding. This includes proper assembly, a certified battery, appropriate tires and air pressure, and working brakes.
- The rider must understand how speed and the weight of the bike affect bike handling and braking distances.
- It is important to understand the importance of wearing a current, well-fitting helmet and proper footwear.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their bikes and helmets. There will be an opportunity to undergo a free e-bike safety check and a helmet condition and fit check.
This event is free, but RSVPs are requested by texting or calling 435-731-9633.
