Drive Your Bike programs are held during PE class or after school over a period of <br />two weeks. Students first learn how to safely ride a bike on school grounds using a realistic traffic <br />environment that includes Safe Moves City. The skill lessons include realistic traffic situations such as <br />proper mounting and dismounting techniques, left and right hand turns, position on the street, left hand <br />shoulder check (scanning for traffic), proper turning techniques (avoidance of rocks, sand, cracks, <br />corners) and crossing an intersection. <br /> <br />In addition, students learn basic bike maintenance and helmet fitting. <br /> <br />At the conclusion of the school-based training, students participate in a street ride with instructors in <br />order to practice their skills in real-life traffic situations. This portion of the course will be limited to those <br />who provide a signed permission form and can pass the skills course to demonstrate their ability to ride <br />on the street. <br /> <br />Lesson plans & Information for K-8 students <br />Safe Moves will provide lesson plans and information that is age/grade appropriate for elementary and <br />middle school students.
