Bike Driver's Ed

Course ContentWhen and WhereSchedule a Group ClassWhat Participants Are Saying

Biking is getting more popular in the city, and it's a fun way for kids to explore their neighborhoods, enjoy each other's company, and get some exercise. But as a parent, do you worry about their safety? Do you have your own questions about safe cycling, buying the right bike, or getting that fiddly helmet adjusted? Attend a Bike Driver's Ed I class with your kids and learn the ropes of safe cycling in New York.

Bike Driver's Ed I uses a short film, a fun quiz, and other interactive activities to teach kids and their parents the basics of bike safety. It does not involve any bike riding. Presentation time: 1-2 hours.
