Erik Chalhoub, #MontereyCountyNow"With the 24-hour ride, Assistant Coach Cathy Weidemann says it takes the students out of their comfort zone, and allows them to do something many have never done before: ride a bike in the middle of the night."

" The city [of [Santa Cruz] hopes to have 30% of its population commuting by bike by 2035 and plans to incorporate e-bikes into this vision, but wants safety measures in place first.
O"ne proposed initiative is a school permit pilot program that would require students to complete a safety course to park their bikes on campus. The city's principal transportation planner, Claire Gallogly, said, 'It's going to involve in-person education for our middle school students, as well as on-bike training, in order to get a parking permit sticker to be able to ride an e-bike and park on campus.’”

"Although even the commissioners shared some hesitation, they did vote to recommend [Carlsbad] city council still impose the minimum age requirement as a first step.
"They are also recommending council adopt a rule to prohibit passengers for anyone under 16 and look into lobbying the state to create even more protections surrounding e-bikes.”

"No new E-Bike laws for now, Santa Cruz says education is the answer” by Briana Mathaw for #KION
"'Riding e-bikes, younger than they would get a license? They're really missing that opportunity to know how to behave on our roadways with other roadway users. And so [our focus is] enhancing the amount of education that we put out,' Claire Gallogly said.” (Gallogly, while not identified as such in KION story, is a City of Santa Cruz transportation planner, since 2015.)

As the San Diego County, California’s City of Carlsbad "Snapshot of fines associated with violations” in https://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/streets-traffic/traffic-safety/electric-bikes notes, “The actual fine does not include approximately $300 dollars in additional court fees.”
Similarly true here in Monterey County. For example, while state law allows a $25 fine for Helmet Required [for minors], 21212(a) CVC, in actuality, if you’re under 18 and are cited for no helmet in Monterey County, you’re typically going to be out $193 due the court, not $25. That’s why Bicycling Monterey offers an alternative https://bikemonterey.org/bike-equity-project-alternative-to-fine-for-traffic-citations.html that is appreciated by local families: https://bikemonterey.org/youth-bike-and-sometimes-receive-citations.html.
Donations to help support that project — or to provide helmets for youth without one — are needed and appreciated. How to donate: https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations

Our 17-yr-old ride companion tonight was in full agreement: We are fortunate to have this excellent car-free coastal trail—AND we need such infrastructure in neighborhoods all over our county!

The National Interscholastic #Cycling Association (#NICA) mission includes "improving the lives of #teens and positively impacting communities by providing a high-quality, safe and fun interscholastic #MountainBike program based on the principles of strong body, strong mind, strong character, equality, and inclusivity." There are regional chapters across the USA, from Alabama to Wisconsin. https://nationalmtb.org/nica-leagues/
The Northern #California (NorCal) League of NICA includes #Monterey County teams. Find those in Section 7 High School Cycling Teams of Bicycling Monterey's 35-section directory "Monterey County Bicycling Resources and Bike Community Leaders": https://bit.ly/BikeMRYDirectory
For a look at some teens participating in those activities, see "Monterey County Teens Bike: California State High School Mountain Bike Championships and elsewhere." https://bikemonterey.org/monterey-county-teens-who-bike-including-mountain-bike-at-the-2017-california-state-high-school-mountain-bike-championships-and-elsewhere.html
