My
kids just finished Bike Week at school (yes, they're still in school—they
don't get out for the summer until the end of July). Every year, the 1st
through 4th graders have Bike Week. They take their bikes to school
and practice riding during class, including a challenging slalom. Kids who don't own a bike
get to use bicycles and helmets provided by the school. There is also bicycle theory,
including traffic rules and safety tips.
At
the end of 4th graders' Bike Week, the children are granted their Bicycle
Driver License. This is a big deal. By this point, they've been working toward
it for four years. Having their Bicycle Driver License means they are allowed
to ride to school from now on. No more using a scooter like the
"little" kids.
What
do you think of Bike Week?
