• Additional Education and/or Encouragement

• We know that bikes are much more likely to continue to be ridden when our partner organizations have supporting education and encouragement activities. While we will try to meet the needs of all of our partners, we prioritize those that are able to do to any of the following. Please indicate what activities your organization plans to do with bike recipients:*
  • Teaching helmet safety and fitting.
  • Holding a bicycle rodeo, to encourage youth to ride and teach important safety skills.
  • Teaching bicycle safety in the classroom or as a part of an afterschool activity.
  • Organizing a bike club, to go on regular rides together.
  • Organizing a bike train, to get kids in the neighborhood riding to school together.
  • Teaching flat changing or other basic mechanics courses so youth can continue riding after a mechanical issue.
  • We plan to use the bicycles as a part of a fleet of bikes for our school or organization's bike safety program.
  • Put them in contact with community resources related to bicycling such as community bike shops, advocacy groups, etc.
  • We don't have any activities planned, but would be interested in exploring more.
