Bicycle Education in West Hollywood



The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has developed an innovative new program called "BEAR" (Bicycle Education And Registration).



The goal of the program is to better educate citizens (adults and children) on bicycle knowledge, safety, laws, and security.



The program will benefit in bicycle theft recovery efforts. The program is a free service offered to citizens who wish to protect their personal property.



Interested persons need only to complete a "BEAR Registration Form" to start the process. Once bike team members receive the completed form, an appointment will be made with the citizen, and a photograph of the bike, and secret makings will take place. The citizen will then be issued a "Protected by BEAR" card that will include his/her data base entry number. In the event that the citizens bike is ever stolen, the detailed information will be easily accessible at the station.
