Access To Bikes
Kids on Bikes has found that in some of our neighborhoods, only 30% of kids have access to a bicycle ready to ride.
Through our programs we offer quality refurbished bikes from the Pedal Station.
- 53% of kids from low-income neighborhoods don't own a rideable bicycle-a tool for transportation, freedom, health, and confidence. -People for Bikes
Opportunities to Ride
Over 58% of El Paso County children get less than 60 min of physical activity daily. -Colorado Health Department.
-We train and equip local leaders to get more kids out more often by bicycle.
-We aim to create a city where the future generations ride bikes as frequently as possible.
- According to the 2015 Colorado Health Report Card, kids average 7 hours and 38 minutes of "screen time" each day and just 7 minutes in active play outdoors.
Bicycling Education
Only 13% of Colorado kids walk or bike to school, compared to nearly 50% of kids thirty years ago. In that time, childhood obesity grew 300%. -2015 Colorado Health Report Card
-Education is empowering. Through education, kids become stewards of their own bike and personal health.
-Ongoing education further empowers kids and their families to ride bikes safely, frequently, and with as much confidence as possible.
- Helmet safety
- How to maintain a bike to keep it rolling
- Safe routes to ride in the community
Bike Libraries
Bike Libraries are re-purposed shipping containers that become mini “bike hubs” complete with refurbished bikes, basic tools, parts, and helmets. Bike Libraries are established through long-term collaboration partnerships. Our partners use the Bike Libraries to run bike programming that suits their needs, offers the opportunities for youth to earn their own bike, and otherwise provide ongoing access to bicycles!
- We have 17 Bike Libraries throughout Colorado Springs
- SE YMCA has all sizes of bikes for community family rides
