Youth Bike Programs

The Youth Cycling Program visits BPS schools and other youth organizations with bikes, helmets, instructors, and an active curriculum that builds safety skills and gets students riding.

We provide bicycle education for grades K-12 during the school day. Our goal is for students to engage in fun physical activity while learning bicycle safety skills. 

We visit schools for 1-3 weeks at a time, with two professional instructors and a fleet of bikes and helmets. We play games, practice riding skills, and go for group rides for practice and fitness. 

Want to host the Youth Cycling Program at your school? Learn more on our Host the Youth Cycling Program page for teachers. The application to host this spring is due Friday, January 17, 2025. 

Bike Towns - also known as “traffic gardens” - are miniature street networks where kids can learn and practice riding bikes in a safe, car-free and delightful environment.  

These small-sized street networks, often with scaled-down traffic features, have been implemented in cities around the world. Bike Towns provide families, teachers, and community organizations a living laboratory for children  to learn to ride bikes and safely navigate urban street systems. Bike Towns can help:

• Teach children essential bike-riding skills to promote active transportation,
• Educate community members, especially children, about how to safely navigate city streets, and
• Increase children’s confidence while they have fun on bikes!
