Ride Bikes With Kids
May 4, 2006
Ann Scalera, Youth Programs Coordinator at the BTA, reports taht their Bicycle Safety Education program is going great this season. They've got 3 fleets of 30 bicycles out at schools and they're training a ton of new little riders.
You can help by joining in on the last day of the program, the Community Ride day. To make the rides safer on this extended ride day, adults help chaperone groups of 3-6 children on the street, within the larger group ride. Kids will have already received 6-9 hours of training prior to the rides, so the role of Volunteer Ride Leaders is to remind kids of safety basics and offer encouragement.
They especially need assistance this Friday.
Available dates and times follow. For more info, contact Anna at 503-226-0676 ext. 19.
