Dong Ngo’s Cycling Pals offers an after-school Bike Club open to 3rd to 5th grade students. In our 2023 club half of the students who chose to be in bike club were girls. In bike club students learn basic repair skills such as fixing a flat tire. One of the biggest impact of bike club is the teaching of bike handling and safety skills. To help with this we have 2 certified MTB coaches.  During bike club we promote safety and it is required to wear a helmet. We make sure students know how to properly fit a helmet using the two-finger rule and at the start of every class we have the kids also complete the ABC checklist to assure their bike is ready to ride.

To help assure more kids can join bike club we have bikes and helmets to loan students while in bike club. At the completion of bike club, we give each student a helmet and lock. Last year we were able to get a couple bikes donated and gifted them to a couple kids who did not have a bike. Bike club has been a success, it builds confidence and more importantly gets the kids outdoors for some much needed fun.
