Middle School Bike Club

Bikes: toys for kids and tools for adults. What about teens? Hear how the Community Cycling Center (CCC) is making bikes relevant to middle schoolers. (Hint: it's

not about the bike.) CCC Program Manager Kelly Hansen will present on how a Bike Club at Cesar

Chavez School got kids riding to school and beyond.

Problem Solving vs. Bright Spots

Review

1. It’s not about the bike.

2. Use bright spots to address the real needs of teens.

“The first [activity] was designing the road. That was interesting because I didn’t know that people actually did that so it was great doing that. The people that were at my table we were all contributing when we set goals and values. That class was mostly about how to make the road better for bikers. That was very great. I did not know they designed roads for bikes and stuff, that was cool. I liked how I learned ways to prevent accidents. We designed bike ways to be safer for people to bike.”
