Marin County is recognized by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for having one of the highest rates of bicycle-related serious injuries per capita in the state, recently ranking 2nd out of 58 counties. While the county is a premier cycling destination, it faces a unique safety crisis driven by the rapid adoption of e-bikes. Since 2023, 911 calls related to bicycle accidents among school-aged youth have surged by 110%, with e-bike-related crash rates for children aged 10–15 being five times higher than all other age groups.
Data from the Marin County Bicycle Accident Dashboard indicates that nearly 85% of youth bicycle crashes now involve e-powered bikes. Most incidents occur on city streets and are often attributed to unsafe maneuvers or excessive speeds.
