Bicycling Skills 123

Bicycling Skills 123 is designed for adults who are not ready for the full TS101 class. These students will practice their handling drills in order to feel more confident on their bicycle.

Safe Routes to School

This program is designed to increase the safety of youth bicyclists and walkers, the number and frequency of children bicycling and walking, and improve the lives of children. The curriculum is divided into three levels. Each progressive level provides more in-depth learning and greater opportunity for students to practice and apply safety knowledge in real-life scenarios. Each level requires increased expertise, time, and resources to effectively implement.
