California Highway Patrol was at Sea Otter Classic. Among free items they were distributing: free bicycle helmets, reflective neon green magnetic straps (often used to keep pant cuffs out of bike chains), and Share the Road brochures, all of which we especially appreciated. (We had some Salinas Valley youth with us who were very glad to get the free helmets—one of their siblings had been cited for no helmet, required by law for minors in California.)

CHP was also distributing inexpensive front and rear lights, spoke reflectors, stickers, and miscellaneous items.

The URL on the CHP Share the Road brochure we received that day leads to an error message. Here’s an updated URL: https://www.chp.ca.gov/Programs-Services/Services-Information/Bike-and-Ped-Safety.
