Integrating Bicycle Safety into Your Curriculum:

PictureBike mechanics lesson at UMS. (2013)
Art or Computer Class: Create posters promoting Bike to School Day and safe driving and cycling messages.

Geography: Survey and create maps of biking routes to school. Use blogs or e-mail to follow a cross-country or intercontinental biking trip for charity.

Health: Measure riding time accumulated by students; study health benefits of physical activity.

Physical Education: Teach physical conditioning. Learn walking warm-ups and stretches and do some progressively longer walks in class to prepare for Bike to School Day. Host a bike rodeo (bicycle skills clinic) so that students can learn how to ride a bicycle safely.

Mathematics: Keep logs of bicycling times; calculate speeds and distances, individual and group averages, trends and statistical analysis.

General Science: Calculate the reduction in carbon impact of biking to school compared to vehicle travel. Learn about clean air initiatives and the effect on public health.

Physics: Study the biomechanics of basic drive mechanics on bikes. Study how bike gears work and different types of brakes function.

Biology: Look for specific plant or animal species, or inventory indigenous species along biking routes. Catalog seasonal changes in the flora and fauna. Keep a log of temperatures related to levels of biking.

English: Write press releases and public service announcements to promote Bike to School Day. Write essays or keep a diary about your experiences riding.

History: Study historical locations in your community by walking or biking to them.

Social Sciences: Photograph important things about your community that you notice while walking or riding to school. Anything you'd like to change? What can you do about it? Start a pen-pal project with kids in other countries who walk or bike to school.
