Behind the scenes of our latest events and projects, our team has been hard at work developing a brand-new curriculum; one that bridges the divide between early childhood and the importance of neighborhood safety: BikeSafe Elementary. But, you might ask, don’t we already have an elementary curriculum? Indeed, we do, but that is part of […]

If safety is the point of bike education, then it is remiss not to discuss the type of bike lanes that afford the greatest level of safety.

While it'll be a while before we can safely share bicycles at a live, in-person Bike to School Day event, we were able to complete all three Velo Yellows!

Never mind toilet paper, COVID-19 has shown us that people haven’t forgotten about the humble bicycle. They have become the latest elusive product for commuting, recreation, and even business (deliveries, anyone?). Bike shops are out of stock, repairs are unstoppable, and according to Miami’s Coral Way Bicycle Shop, bike parts supplier J&B Importers sold 34,500 […]

This is a continuation of the “Velo Yellow” kids track bike story from our resident bike expert, Kurt Kaminer: The last time we left off with the Velo Yellows – our three kids’ track bicycles – we had just picked them up from Jeff at the Recyclable Bicycle Exchange in Ft. Lauderdale. Since then, it […]

Our social marketing manager comes to us today with a story about his love for bicycles – and how it has led to three new members of the BikeSafe fleet! Some bicycle enthusiasts geek out over bicycles as much as we love riding them. For me, the sight of an old steel road bicycle with […]

Don’t get us wrong – we love protected bike lanes. But it is difficult for anyone born and raised in an automobile-centric culture to understand what it feels like to commute on two wheels, braving the ever-spotty selection of bicycle facilities in a fearless game of Frogger to get to your destination.
