Everyday Risks: E-Bikes (with Amy Frias) Artwork

The Safety Gambit

Welcome to The Safety Gambit, an exploration of the risks we take as humans and the culture of safety we create at home and at work. Hosted by Lindsay Polic, a certified safety professional for more than 20 years, The Safety Gambit invites you to take a more curious and holistic approach to transforming the culture of safety in your life, including bringing awareness to the impact of our safety decisions, the safety of workplaces, the emotional and physical safety of our spaces, and the philosophy of safety. On the show, Lindsay and other safety experts and like-hearted individuals will ask questions like: What is your personal risk level? Why do companies take risks to short cut regulatory safety obligations? What is the cost of the humans doing the work? Why do humans take risks to short cut safety outside of the workplace? We connect, educate, and empower you to enact change and create transformation around safety for your family, communities, and workplaces.

Everyday Risks: E-Bikes (with Amy Frias)

June 26, 2025 • Lindsay Polic • Episode 67

On episode 67 of The Safety Gambit podcast, Lindsay is joined by Amy Frias, health educator and Safe Kids coordinator at Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) to explore all things electric bikes, also known as e-bikes (yes, it's the e-bike episode!).

In this episode, we cover:

Why maybe not every kid was meant to have an e-bike (electric bike), and how parents can determine that.
The three classes of e-bikes, including age limits and max miles per hour.
The two-two-two rule for e-bike helmet fit and sizing.
Why it's a great idea to know which route your kid takes to school.
How to set boundaries around e-bike responsibility and privilege.
And so much more.
