Quick June riding tip. 🎧☀️

If you ride with earbuds, keep one ear open so you can stay aware of your surroundings, especially on shared paths and streets.

It's one of those small habits that makes a big difference in safety.

Also worth knowing: proper saddle height is one of the most overlooked setup details for casual riders, and getting it right can completely change how comfortable your rides feel. 🫡

June bike paths and rail trails are genuinely one of the best ways to experience the season. No traffic, no noise, just you and whoever is lucky enough to be riding beside you. 🚴‍♀️

If you've been putting off that scenic ride you've been dreaming about, this is your sign. 🏔️

They are understanding of what the state law for Washington is putting out starting on 11 June

Know Before You Ride: New Washington E-Bike Rules Take Effect June 11

The City of Arlington is seeing more electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and other e-mobility vehicles on city streets and trails. With so many types of electric transportation now available, it can be difficult to tell which vehicles are legal, where they can be ridden, and what rules apply.

Washington state updated its laws through Enhanced Substitute Senate Bill 6110, which more clearly defines the difference between electric-assisted bicycles, or e-bikes, and electric motorcycles. These updates take effect June 11, 2026.

An electric-assisted bicycle must have:
✅Fully operable pedals
✅An electric motor rated at 750 watts or less
✅ Meet one of Washington’s three e-bike classes

If a vehicle does not meet the legal definition of an e-bike, it may be regulated as a motorcycle, moped, or another type of motor vehicle under Washington law. That can mean additional requirements for riding on public roads, such as:

➡️A valid driver’s license
➡️Vehicle registration
➡️Insurance
➡️Helmet requirements
➡️Following all traffic laws

For those planning to ride on the Centennial Trail, Class 1 and Class 2 electric-assisted bicycles may be used on a shared-use regional trail path, including the Centennial Regional Trail and Whitehorse Regional Trail, or on any part of a highway designated for bicycle use. Class 3 e-bikes are not permitted on a shared-use path.

Parents and caregivers play an important role in helping young riders understand where these vehicles may be used and what state law requires. To determine how a vehicle is classified, it is important to refer to the applicable legal definition under Washington law.

⚠️ A good rule of thumb for parents: A vehicle that can exceed 20 mph using only electric power is not considered an electric-assisted bicycle under state law.

Race season is heating up and so is the gear conversation. 🏁

One thing a lot of riders don't realize until they're deep into training: your helmet and eyewear aren't just about looks, they genuinely affect performance and comfort on long efforts.

Ventilation, fit, and lens tint all matter more than most people think heading into summer racing. 😎

Some views are worth every pedal stroke to get there. 🚵‍♀️

There's something about sharing a ride with your little one that hits different, especially when you pause at the top and take it all in together.

June is the perfect month to start building those two-wheel traditions with the kids. 🌅

Dropping into technical terrain? Here's one thing that helps more than you think: trust your body position. 💪🚵‍♂️

Weight back, eyes forward, and let the bike do its job. A lot of riders tense up at technical sections which actually works against them.

May is a great time to practice on progressively harder terrain so your confidence builds before summer trail trips. 🫡
