Bike Ed Goes to School
[View Larger Video >]
This fall, some 600 elementary-school students in the Bronx participated in a bike rodeo, quite possibly the first at an NYC public school--but not the last, if we can help it. Activities such as a slow race, helmet relay, and bike edition of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader" reinforced the cycling-safety lessons they'd learned throughout the fall, and the fun they've had along the way. The school followed Bike New York's Bike Driver's Ed curriculum and used bikes from our Bike Fleet--all free of charge.
