We want to talk! Know a business or group that would benefit from a safety presentation that educates people on the vulnerability of humans outside of cars and reminds drivers of their responsibility to share our roads safely?

E-bikes Are Bikes!
6_14_25EbikesKailua.png

Yes, electric bikes are bicycles (and no, e-biking isn't "cheating"). Come out to an E-Bikes 101 workshop (free and presented by your friends at HBL!) and learn why HBL supports these low-speed electric bicycles, get up to speed on what's allowed on our roadways & bike lanes, and even try one yourself!

June 14th (Sat), 3:15-5:15pm @Kailua » Register Here!

The Honolulu Police Department has a publicly accessible online database where you can check to see if a bicycle has been reported stolen by looking up the bike’s VIN number or C&C decal. If you’re thinking about buying a second-hand bike from a private party, do your due diligence to ensure you’re not getting stolen property
