SF Bike & Roll to School Week is coming April 15-19, 2019. This citywide event invites thousands of young people in over 90 schools (pre-K through high school) who will ride in with parents and teachers in “bike trains” — getting to school using their own pedal power, hopping on bike trailers and backseats, or rolling by scooter, skateboard, wheelchair, and stroller.

YMCA’s YBike program held a learn-to-ride event at Sunnyside Elementary School today, with dozens of young kids getting their first go balancing on two wheels. They also gave out cycling helmets.

The program doesn’t use training wheels on bikes for these beginners, but takes off the pedals, which encourages the transition to balancing on two wheels.
