I'm involved with teaching bike safety to 5th graders. We taught 3 classes this spring, and had 3 students who did not know how to ride a bike. The lead instructor removed the pedals from one of our bikes and used it as a strider bike to teach the kids balance before the actual training started. All three kids were riding and participating in the 2-week course. At the end of the course the tree kids also participated in the community ride as their graduation from the class. This is a ride through he community using their new knowledge including: intersections, taking the lane rift and left hand turns, handling traffic and signal lights. It is 2-3 miles through a busy part of town.
