#LearnedToBikeDay is the only day more important than #NewBikeDay!
Congratulations to this kiddo!
We used a small hill 🤪 to achieve the same results as the towel method. You might like it this method when the time comes.

It is always a wonderful day when you can talk about ways to help get more kids biking. My wife and I had a great time at the Tri State Trails Tour de Crown Expo repping the @bikeleague.org and the Early Childhood Mobility Coalition. #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeEd and #BikeBus

Why we need #TransportationLiteracy in PreK-12, #BikeEd #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeBus in school. "That’s why Meenken believes sustainable mobility education is essential. “It empowers kids to reflect on their own mobility choices — and the impact those choices have on the planet.”
"a bike is a tool of independence even before they’re old enough to drive. That independence, the ability to move freely, is a basic human right — and key to social participation.
But in Germany, as elsewhere, far too few children are riding bikes."

Yes, and why we did need to introduce bike education in school, install #TrafficGardens, start kids off on #BalanceBikes at an early age, and provide opportunities for #BikeBus efforts across the country. Start building a foundation early for a lifelong healthy habit. #Biking #WellBeing

@activetowns.bsky.social Thanks for highlighting @finnbike.bsky.social and her amazing work to create spaces for kids to play, be active outdoors, learn about our built environment, and develop safety awareness. We need #BikeEd #TrafficGardens #BalanceBikes and #BikeBus in all schools.

My favorite Traffic Gardens include bike lanes, pathways, crosswalks, and other active mobility infrastructure, not just mini-car-oriented tarmac.

Thanks for the great share. Wonderful to hear from the student's perspective about their #BikeBus experiences. #BikeEducation in school, #BalanceBikes, #TrafficGardens and #BikeBus efforts have many benefits and can lead to #IndependentMobility #Independence. This needs more research focus.

Interested in being a champion for #BikeEd in school, #BalanceBikes, #TrafficGardens, and #BikeBus #BiciBus efforts, to support kids learning how to bike, and later experience independent mobility? We need more people comfortable getting out on bikes for a bike ride. #Social #Community #WellBeing

Yes, we need better infrastructure for all modes, especially kids, and #TransportationLiteracy in school for PreK-12. Seems to be happening in many countries. This is definitely a barrier to kids having #IndependentMobility and #Independence. #BikeEd #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeBus #BiciBus

Fun time touring and presenting with team at NACTO Designing Cities Conference, Traffic Garden Walkshop in DC. Do you have a traffic garden in your city? @finnbike.bsky.social #TrafficGardens #BalanceBikes #BikeEd #BikeBus #TransportationLiteracy #SafeStreets4All wjla.com/news/local/w...
DC Public Schools build traffic gardens at playgrounds to teach kids about street safety
Look both ways before crossing the street, is what students are learning and applying at Lorraine H. Whitlock Elementary School.

All kids should start off on #BalanceBikes to develop balance and coordination. Cycling is a foundational movement skill. I started off my 5 granddaughters on BBs when they were 18 months old. Transition to pedal bikes went smoothly at between 5-6 years old. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

DC Public Schools PreK and 2nd grade bike education program, and Seattle Public Schools bike education program for K-8 students, are good examples. Start with #BalanceBikes and transition to pedal bikes, Use #TrafficGardens and then transition to city streets.
