“The ability to ride a bike develops physical and mental well-being and instills confidence which can lead to better focus in the classroom,” said Lisa Weyer, executive director of the Strider Education Foundation. “Kindergarten is the perfect age to teach kids to ride a bike focusing on gross motor skills, balance and coordination. By teaching bike riding at the entry level in a public school system, we are providing the knowledge and a positive foundation of a lifelong skill. And we are leaving a legacy for future riders on two wheels.”  

Through its collaboration with The NASCAR Foundation, the program will teach approximately 3,750 kindergarten students how to ride a bike on an annual basis. With the equipment lifespan of 7-10 years, this will impact up to 37,500 kids. To view additional bike giveaway details, visit All Kids Bike.
