In an effort to keep our students safe, all students will be required to apply for a permit if they are planning on riding a bike to school and parking it on campus. This permitting process will help ensure that our students are educated on the skills they will need to bike safely to and from school. There is no cost for the bicycle permit, however bicycle permits will be required in order to bring a bike or e-bike onto school grounds. These permits are only valid for the school year during which they were issued, meaning students must complete an online application and attend a EUSD approved Bike / eBike Safety Presentation at the beginning of each school year that they wish to ride a bike or eBike to and from school.
Please note: The City of Carlsbad formally adopted new laws for e-bikes and the news laws went into effect as of March 26, 2026. Anyone operating an e-bike must be at least 12 years old, as allowed by Assembly Bill 2234; therefore, we will not issue a permit for an e-bike for anyone younger than 12.
Complete the following items to receive your bicycle permit ID tag:
1. Attend an EUSD approved Bike / eBike Safety Presentation. EUSD currently partners with the Carlsbad Police Department and the San Diego Bicycle Coalition for safety training opportunities. Additionally, a district sponsored assembly is put on by the San Diego Bike Coalition at each school site. The LCH bike safety assembly training will take place on September 21, 2026. All students present at school that day will attend the safety training assembly. Students not present that day will be required to attend a district-approved training through the city. Please check the EUSD website for a list of all upcoming free presentation's put on by our partnering organizations.
2. Complete this online bicycle permit application form
Bicycle permit ID tags will be issued at each individual school site in the front office. ID tags should be placed on a visible area on your Bike or eBike and not be removed. If your permit is lost or stolen, report to the school office for a potential replacement.
