San Clemente city council placed some restrictions on electric bicycles (e-bikes), with a few others to be considered during an upcoming meeting.

The San Clemente Beach Trial is a multimodal trail that previously allowed e-bikes and bikes to pass through. Public complaints prompted council Feb. 16 to require all bikes to be walked along Mariposa Bridge.
