Brief Description: The Presidio Community YMCA Bicycle Program’s Physical Education (PE) programs integrate bicycle safety education into the regular school day by bringing it directly to PE classes. The program teaches youth at the middle and high school levels safe bicycle riding through a series of bike handling drills and the simulation of traffic situations culminating in a group neighborhood ride. The 10-day, 2-week curriculum is designed to fit into regularly scheduled P.E. class periods. All classes are led by trained Y-Bike Program staff with the help of P.E. teachers. P.E. teachers observe in Year 1, help teach in Year 2, and lead the program with YBike support in year 3 and beyond. All bicycles, helmets, and other educational materials are provided. |
