Child Education
MassBike’s Safe Route To School bicycle safety training is offered to grades 4-8. The training consists of a 45-60 minute high energy interactive presentation. A trained MassBike instructor will arrive with all the materials needed for the class, a helmet, a bicycle and other props. The school or organization receiving the training doesn’t need to provide anything other than a space to teach the students, and the students themselves.
Want to bring bicycle safety training to your child’s school? Then encourage your school to participate in the Safe Routes to School program. Schools all over the state have already signed up throughout the Commonwealth. Partner schools are eligible to receive SRTS services, including no-cost safety training and infrastructure improvements.
The funding available for the Safe Routes to School program is limited. In order to bring bike safety training to schools and communities that are unable to participate in SRTS, MassBike is offering its training at a very modest cost. If you are interested in exploring this option for your school or town (or if you think your company might be interested in underwriting the program with a tax-deductible donation), please contact MassBike executive director David Watson, david@massbike.org or 617-542-2453.
