Middle School Bike Skills will help kids gain valuable skills and
confidence to safely ride to school and beyond. The course is taught
by League of American Bicyclists League Cycling Instructors (LCI). The
course begins with an in-person interactive review of biking basics.
Participants then move to smaller groups for the on-bike portion of
the class: bike/helmet checks, skills practice on a protected
black-top area, and a bike ride around the neighborhood to put those
newly learned skills to practice. The class is open to children
entering 6th – 8th in the fall. Participants skill level should be
Level 4/5 or higher to participate in this class – meaning they
should already know how to start independently, safely stop using
their brakes, ride in a straight line for at least 50 feet, and ride
one handed for a short distance. Each student must have one
parent/guardian attend to observe and participate in the entire class.
Everyone (student AND parent/guardian) must bring a Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC)-compliant HELMET and a WELL OPERATING BIKE
that is safe to ride.
