Smart Cycling School

SMART CYCLING SCHOOL

Transportation safety and health are often priority issues affecting schools, families, and whole communities. Help your student body, families, and staff master the skills needed to safely commute to and from school by bike. Bicycle Solutions provides programs that make learning fundamental cycling skills fun and productive for all grade levels. Riding to school can decrease traffic congestion, improve health, sharpen minds, and offer a joyful start and end to each day.

SAFE & EFFECTIVE CYCLING

A good rider is a safe rider. Think of it this way: if your focus when riding through an intersection is on how to keep your bike upright, you won’t be focused on the traffic around you. Bicycle Solutions Smart Cycling School develops bike riding skills that allow riders to maneuver themselves safely and effectively through a variety of conditions. Smart Cycling School graduates use techniques that make safe riding second nature so they can enjoy the world around them and confidently get to their destination while keeping themselves and others safe.

RULES OF THE ROAD

Sometimes cycling skills can be more advanced than a rider’s maturity. Smart Cycling School includes instruction in the rules that all cyclists are required to follow, from state vehicle codes to local requirements that govern bicycle use. Also covered is cyclist etiquette and the imperative of courtesy and respect for all other users of the road, path, and trail. Instruction in these rules, no matter the age of the student, makes practicing a cyclist’s rights and responsibilities as easy as … riding a bike!

BE PREPARED

Like any other skill, being prepared is critical to success. Smart Cycling School covers bike and related equipment purchasing, maintenance, use, and fit. From the basics such as what size and type of bike to use, how to wear a helmet, and techniques for keeping the bike running smoothly, to more advanced topics, Smart Cycling School helps ensure a rider departs daily with proper equipment and a safety-first mindset.

CONVENIENCE, FLEXIBILITY, QUALITY

Bicycle Solutions provides Smart Cycling School programs in a variety of formats tailored to your school’s community and campus.
