Waldron Elementary wants to teach kids how to ride a bike in PE class

Jun. 5—WALDRON — The All Kids Bike Kindergarten Learn-to-Ride Program is a 24-fleet of bikes, pedal conversion kits, helmets, one teacher instruction bike, and certified curriculum teacher training, which is everything they will need to teach kids how to progress from balance to riding a bike in eight lessons at Waldron Elementary School.

Lisa Weyer, Executive Director of the Strider Education Foundation, said, "The ability to ride a bike develops physical and mental well-being and instills confidence which can lead to better focus in the classroom. Kindergarten is the perfect age to teach kids to ride a bike focusing on gross motor skills, balance, and coordination. By teaching bike riding at the entry level in a public school system, we are providing the knowledge and a positive foundation of a lifelong skill."

At Waldron Elementary, this program will teach approximately 55 kindergarten students how to ride a bike on an annual basis. With the equipment lifespan of 7 to 10 years, this will impact up to 550 kids over the next decade.
