The Salina Police Department (SPD) is informing the public about an issue of multiple reports regarding pocket and mini bikes being operated on city streets, sidewalks illegally.
According to SPD, these certain bikes are not street legal and only permitted to be operated on private property.
"There have been several near-miss incidents involving riders entering the roadway or crossing from sidewalks into traffic," the agency said. "These situations create a serious risk of injury, especially when riders are not easily visible to drivers. With warmer weather and summer approaching, we want to remind parents and guardians to ensure children are operating these vehicles in appropriate, private property locations and with permission. Our goal is to prevent serious injuries and keep everyone in our community safe."
If you have any questions regarding this issue, contact the SPD at: (785) 826-7210
