Bike rides, bike safety, bike fun
Join SVBC's Safe Routes to School team this Spring and Summer as we look to get more kids (and their parents) on bikes through interactive events and activities. Volunteering at these types of events is a great way to refresh your bicycling safety knowledge while having a great time. In the upcoming months we will host several biking events where we will teach kids safe riding techniques, proper helmet fit, basic bike maintenance, and most importantly, the fun of riding a bicycle! We will host an array of events where you may be able to volunteer and participate, including bike rodeos, family bike rides, community events, and summer camps. Take a look at the list of events we already have scheduled. Most shifts are between 2-5 hours long, but they are a full day's worth of fun.
- April 26 – Bike Warrior Challenge in Burlingame
- May 5 – Street Alive! Parks Alive! Bike in Disguise in Belmont/Foster City/San Mateo

No previous experience is necessary, just enthusiasm for teaching kids to bike safely.
