Young riders in Luverne who wear a helmet and follow the rules could get a free ice cream, thanks in part to the Luverne Rotary Club.
The City of Luverne and the Rock County Sheriff's Office have launched a safety campaign aimed at kids riding e-bikes, electric scooters, and other micronized vehicles. The idea came from a Civic Assembly group that looked at the growing number of these vehicles around town and the risks they pose to riders and pedestrians. The group recommended focusing on education and encouragement instead of citations.
