Youth Bicycling Education in the Lehigh Valley

CAT’s program, Bike Smart Lehigh Valley, aims to educate children in grades K-8, about how to be smart when riding their bicycles.

Funded by PennDOT and the Lehigh Valley Transportation Study, Bike Smart Lehigh Valley utilizes professional bicycle instructors to educate and motivate children to treat bicycle riding with respect, as bicycles on public streets are treated as vehicles.

It’s also a goal of this program to inspire children to ride their bikes to be physically active and to lead healthy lives that can connect the Lehigh Valley by pedal power.

Watch samples of what a Bike Day event is like:

 

Our events incorporate:

  • Helmet safety
  • Bike mechanics checks
  • Learning to ride and on-bike skills training
  • Group rides
  • Custom-tailored support via the CAT Bicycle Cooperative

 

Schedule a Bike Day Event or In-School Assembly

CAT is currently scheduling youth education programming for 2024.
Contact CAT if your school or community group would like to be part of the action. No experience required. Paid positions commensurate with experience and qualifications when funding is available. Background checks required and will be reimbursed.
