Free Bike Safety Basics for Kids Program

Funded by BikeAAA

Thanks to funding and coordination from Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis & Anne Arundel County (“BikeAAA”), PedalPower Kids is pleased to announce a new, free Bike Safety Basics for Kids program in 2024.

The free program for children ages 5-12 will be held at the new Lindale Middle School Kids Bike Safety Park in Linthicum Heights, Maryland. The Bike Safety Park is an interactive, art-adorned space with kid-scaled streets and intersections that is designed to help children learn how to interact with other road users.The newly-launched Bike Safety Basics for Kids program includes a bike safety check, helmet fitting and on-bike skills instruction on the protected safety course.

The Bike Safety Basics for Kids program is held monthly, typically on the second Saturday of the month.

The course will be offered for free to the public from 10-11:15 AM, with pre-registration required. Children should bring their own bike in good working order and a helmet. For free registration and details, please click here.

For April 2024, the free Bike Safety Basics program will run on Sunday, April 14, with two time slots available to the public: 1- 2:15 pm and 2-3:15 pm. To register for these sessions, please click here.
