Motorcycling is amazing in so many respects, but I was surprised again the other day when I met with Ryan, the boss of Strider Bikes and Wayne, a leader in their charity effort to put kids on bikes. A few years ago Ryan tried to teach his 2-year- old how to ride a bike. He tried trikes and training wheels and then built something special without pedals. His kid could experience balance and mobility on two wheels easily.
This effort turned into an amazing program to introduce kids to mobility freedom, balance, confidence and exercise. This program is capable of answering so many questions and concerns about health and ultimately motorcycling. It’s amazing! Bottom line, I’m going to become an Ambassador to support this effort on Bikernet and in Bandit’s Cantina. If you can help, don’t hesitate. Below is some more info:
All Kids Bike is on a mission to teach every child in America how to ride a bike in kindergarten PE class.
Program overview
The Kindergarten PE Program equips schools with everything teachers need to teach children how to ride, including teacher training and certification, a structured 8-lesson curriculum, a fleet of 22 Strider® 14x Balance Bikes, 22 Pedal Conversion Kits, 22 fully-adjustable helmets, and a five-year support plan.
The Kindergarten PE Program is offered to schools for free, thanks to generous donors.
$4,000 provides a complete Kindergarten PE Program to the school of the donor’s choice and teaches every kindergartner, for the next five years, how to ride a bike.
