E-Bike Safety Day of Action

May 2026

The eleventh Day of Action was on May 20, 2026 and focused on e-bike safety, particularly encouraging parents to determine whether their teen is ready for an e-bike and having a conversation with their teen about e-bike safety. You can search the hashtag #EBikeParentCheck on your favorite social media channel to see some of the great posts from participants and partners.

T4CIP trainees were asked to promote #EBikeParentCheck messages during a targeted Day of Action, but these materials are available to use year-round.
