Students learn to be predictable cyclists who follow traffic rules and regulations.
Classroom lessons include a video, instruction covering bike laws and hazards, helmets, bike gear, and other equipment. The BTA teaches the program in communities across Oregon, providing a trained instructor, a fleet of 25 bikes, hundreds of helmets, brochures and pamphlets, safety vests, videos, and other equipment essential for implementation. The BTA also coordinates the program logistics, assists with volunteer coordination, fundraising, and trainings for classroom teachers. In addition to teaching safety, the program increases youth bicycle ridership. The BTA works with schools to improve their on-site bicycle facilities, such as bike racks, and to promote cycling at the school.
