Middle School Bike Skills

Summer Workshops

Description

Middle School Bike Skills workshops prepare rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to bike to middle school and beyond. Participants and their parent or guardian will learn:

  • Basic traffic laws
  • How to position yourself on the road
  • How to navigate intersections
  • The most common types of bike crashes and how to avoid them
  • Proper hand signals and how to let drivers know your intentions
  • How to check that your bike is functioning properly
  • How to adjust your helmet

This Middle School Bike Skills program is brought to you by Cupertino Safe Routes to School in partnership with Wheel Kids. The program includes a classroom safety presentation, on-bike skills drills on a blacktop, and a group ride through the neighborhood to put the lessons and skills into practice. One parent or guardian is required to attend the class with each student. Student and guardian both need to bring a bike and helmet.
