Yesterday Roll It Forward dropped off sixteen 12" and 16" wheeled kids bikes and sixteen helmets at the John P. Holland School in Dorchester. Most of these bikes are set up as "balance bikes" — The cranks and pedals have been removed to allow kids to learn to balance and steer before they become distracted by the secondary act of pedaling. At RIF and Youth Cycling Program, we teach a whole lot of kids to ride and this is far and away the best way to get kids rolling on two wheels.
The bikes will be a permanent fixture in the Kindergarten classrooms of Holland School, making learning to ride bikes a regular recess activity. We look forward to meeting a whole bunch of already-riding-kids the next time we visit the Holland for a Youth Cycling event!
And we have had some GREAT YCP events at the Holland School, check out the photos after the break...
