Bike Program Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Bike Program is geared to teach even beginners how to safely ride bikes in the city. The curriculum is focused around bike safety, bicycle knowledge, maintenance and repair, and healthy living and nutrition. Every participant is encouraged to get involved in the "Earn a Bike" component of the program, where students have to show commitment, dedication, and specific skills in order to take home the bike that they have used as a participant in the program. All of our bikes have been donated by YMCA members, Trips for Kids, staff and the SF Police Department. In order to keep this program going, we rely heavily on donations of bicycles and safety equipment. Current Locations : Francisco, Roosevelt, Marina, Claire Lilienthal and Presidio Middle schools Cost : FREE For more information, contact: Jena Lee, Director of Community Programs 415/447-9643
