“The strider education foundation's mission through the all kids bike program is to teach every child in america how to ride a bike in kindergarten pe class. As a result of teaching children how to ride a bike in school, we're promoting physical activity, improved mental well-being, and increased confidence. Our curriculum develops essential life skills like balance, coordination, and independence, fostering a love for physical activity from an early age. There are many statistics, such as the increasing prevalence of digital device use and childhood obesity rates, that underline the importance of initiatives like all kids bike.”
