CYCLE Kids program

The CYCLE Kids program, offered through in-school physical education or after-school programs, introduces students to the joys of bicycling and educates them about nutrition and bike safety. The CYCLE Kids curriculum, developed in conjunction with Boston University and Sargen College, combines self-esteem enhancing lessons with challenging workouts that help children develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.
