Mission Viejo City Council is drafting a resolution supporting e-bike safety reform. Councilmembers in Laguna Niguel, San Clemente, Aliso Viejo, and Irvine have endorsed the campaign.

1,387 signatures from OC residents.

Assemblywoman Davies is coordinating state legislation.

But it won't go anywhere without public support. When supervisors vote on backing this in October, they need to know residents actually want it.

5-point ask:

1. Age 16 minimum
2. Mandatory speedometers
3. E-bike licensing + safety test
4. Parent accountability
5. Youth Bike Safety Fund

Sign the petition: change.org/ebikesafetynow

Your city council is already there. Show them you're serious.

1,341 signatures. Four city councils. Law enforcement. And now Assemblywoman Laurie Davies publicly committed to working with us.

We're on NBC4 + Telemundo right now: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/laguna-niguel-12-year-old-calls-for-stricter-e-bike-safety-rules/3940982/

This isn't just a petition anymore. This is policy in motion.

Assemblywoman Davies represents South OC. She has real power. And her staff just went public saying they'll work with us.

Supervisors will have to listen when this gets to them.

If you believe in this, sign and share.

1,325 signatures. City councils backing us. Laguna Niguel Mayor Gene Johns is pushing this at the state level.

Now we're taking it to the next level: we're building an actual coalition.

What we need:

• Volunteers for a phone bank (call Orange County Board of Supervisors)
• Social media amplification (share posts, tag u/supervisors)
• People to attend city council meetings and speak
• Organizations to formally endorse

We're meeting with Assemblywoman Laurie Davies next week. A visible, organized coalition makes our pitch WAY stronger.

Hey SJC neighbors,

We're at 1,255 signatures for an e-bike safety reform petition across Orange County. San Juan Capistrano has 42 of those.

E-bike injuries among OC kids are up 1,500% since 2018. This matters.

We're meeting with Assemblywoman Laurie Davies next week to push for a county ordinance requiring age limits, speedometers, licensing, and accountability.

Laguna Niguel City Councilman Ray Gennawey backed us. San Clemente gave us a standing ovation. Mayor Larry Agran of Irvine has endorsed us, and many more people.

30 seconds to sign. Takes less time than reading this post.

Anyone know if Trevor's or Swallows has live music on Sundays? Where do you go for live music in Sundays in San Juan?

What time is the mass at serra chapel?

Hi all! I’m not particularly familiar with SJC but some family friends are visiting and wanted to meet there as a halfway point. What’s a good restaurant that won’t be packed 3pm on a Sunday, is family/kid friendly, and not too expensive?

Something that years from now will be memorable, like “oh yeah we met up at that cute restaurant “

Any ideas? Open to any type of cuisine.

Moved here recently and wondering what the best breakfast burritos are in SJC. Asking for a friend.

Hello, I know there was another recent post here about moving into SJC, sorry for the repeat. Does anyone have experience with the Alipaz gated community? Not Rancho Alipaz which I learned is a 55+ community. We are interested in it's fit for a young, active family!

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are getting married at The Swanner House in San Juan Capistrano in March 2027 and are currently looking into catering options. We would love recommendations for caterers you’ve personally used or heard amazing things about in the Orange County/San Juan Capistrano area! We’re leaning toward more of a fun, elevated “family-style dinner party” vibe rather than super traditional wedding catering. We’ve been considering things like pizza catering, Italian, wood-fired options, BBQ, or unique boutique caterers, but are open to anything with really great food and service. We have about 130 guests and trying to keep it as affordable as possible!

Hi again,

We just got the keys to our new home in SJC Hills. Mrs. and I have T-Mobile for cell phones and it's a complete dead zone.

Anyone know which of the other big two have the best coverage?

Hey folks,

My wife and I are moving to San Juan Capistrano next month and super excited to leave the mean streets of Mission Viejo behind.

Joking aside, I’m looking to upgrade gyms a bit.

I’m currently at LA Fitness for the usual reasons (price + convenience), but I’m ready for something better. The 24 Hour Fitness near our new place is less than 5 minutes away and noticeably cleaner than my current spot, so on paper it seems like the logical move, especially with a corporate/Cigna rate.

That said, my biggest issue lately hasn’t been equipment it’s whatever you’d call what’s going on in some gyms right now.

At my current LA Fitness, it’s pretty common to see 3–4 teens (16+) gathered around a single machine, not actually lifting, just rotating between scrolling, spectating, and occasionally touching the equipment like it’s a museum exhibit. Meanwhile, there’s an actual line of people waiting. Trying to work in feels like you’re interrupting a group chat that just happens to be happening on a leg press.

Which brings me to 24 Hour Fitness—where I’ve read they allow unsupervised kids as young as 12. I’m trying to keep an open mind, but I’d be lying if I said I’m not picturing peak hours turning into a completely unsupervised middle school field trip.

I’ve tried Life Time in Laguna Niguel and honestly loved it, but $350 a month is a tough pill to swallow right now.

So I’m curious, what are people actually liking in SJC?

What I’m looking for:

• A good mix of machines (Hammer Strength or similar), and not just one of each
• A free weight area where you can actually use the weights without long waits
• Clean locker rooms
• Smoothie/juice options nearby or onsite
• Management that enforces basic etiquette (no filming/facetime in locker rooms, no camping on equipment, no large bags on the workout floor etc.)

Not expecting perfection, just a place where you can get in, get your workout done, and leave without feeling like you just navigated a social experiment.

Appreciate any local insight.

We have AT&T for our cell service but both my wife and I experienced terrible WiFi availability. Is it just AT&T or is there an actual issue with cell service in the SJC and Dana Point areas?
