Would be great to see this in US cities, especially Cincinnati #TrafficGardens #BikeEd #BalanceBikes #BikeBuses #SafeStreets #SafeInfrastructure #ActiveKids #IndependentMobility #CivicEngagement #Community #TransportationWellBeing #MobilityEducation

This looks like a great program. Awesome that families can borrow bikes for practice at home. #TrafficGardens are also great place for kids to practice. #BikeEd #TrafficGardens #BalanceBikes #BikeBus #Kids #Outdoors #Active #Fun #Social #Community

Yes, bikes can put a smile on your face, and every kid in the US should have #Access to a bike. #Fun #Active #Social #BikeEd in school, #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeBus #IndependentMobility #Independence #MultiModalCitizens

It is always a wonderful day when you can talk about ways to help get more kids biking. My wife and I had a great time at the Tri State Trails Tour de Crown Expo repping the @bikeleague.org and the Early Childhood Mobility Coalition. #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeEd and #BikeBus

Yes, yes and, yes to this! Kids are future leaders. Build the foundation and then follow-up with scaffolded learning opportunities. #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEd #BikeEd #TrafficGardens #BalanceBikes #BikeBus #WalkingSchoolBus #SchoolStreets #SafeStreets4All #ActiveKids #Social #Community

Yes, we need better infrastructure for all modes, especially kids, and #TransportationLiteracy in school for PreK-12. Seems to be happening in many countries. This is definitely a barrier to kids having #IndependentMobility and #Independence. #BikeEd #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeBus #BiciBus

Why we need #TransportationLiteracy in PreK-12, #BikeEd #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeBus in school. "That’s why Meenken believes sustainable mobility education is essential. “It empowers kids to reflect on their own mobility choices — and the impact those choices have on the planet.”

Thanks for the great share. Wonderful to hear from the student's perspective about their #BikeBus experiences. #BikeEducation in school, #BalanceBikes, #TrafficGardens and #BikeBus efforts have many benefits and can lead to #IndependentMobility #Independence. This needs more research focus.

What? How did I miss this ride? Way to go Coach Clark! I was having too much fun visiting DC #tTrafficGardens with @finnbike.bsky.social . Great focus on biking in DC, with #BikeEd 'BikingInThePark' 2nd grade bike program #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeBus #KidicalMass @coachbalto.bsky.social

DC Public Schools build traffic gardens at playgrounds to teach kids about street safety Look both ways before crossing the street, is what students are learning and applying at Lorraine H. Whitlock Elementary School.

Fun time touring and presenting with team at NACTO Designing Cities Conference, Traffic Garden Walkshop in DC. Do you have a traffic garden in your city? @finnbike.bsky.social #TrafficGardens #BalanceBikes #BikeEd #BikeBus #TransportationLiteracy #SafeStreets4All wjla.com/news/local/w...

Yes, and in 2024 three #TrafficGardens were installed at Cincinnati Public Schools locations to provide a safe enough environment for kids to learn/practice their biking skills. Later this year there be one more installed. Along with the one Dayton, KY, there will be five in the metro area.

Fernando Martinez, supported by Commissioner Rodney Ellis, in Houston, TX, is one of the folks doing great work to get all ages on bikes, especially older adults. #BikeEd #TrafficGardens #Trikes #eBikes #SafeInfrastructure #Community #Social #WellBeing #IntergenerationalMobility

Interested in being a champion for #BikeEd in school, #BalanceBikes, #TrafficGardens, and #BikeBus #BiciBus efforts, to support kids learning how to bike, and later experience independent mobility? We need more people comfortable getting out on bikes for a bike ride. #Social #Community #WellBeing

How about #BikeEd #TrafficGardens #AdaptiveBikes #BikeBus programs? "Children and adolescents with disabilities (CAD) frequently encounter barriers to participation in physical activity (PA). Schools play a vital role in promoting PA". pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39322481/

DC Public Schools PreK and 2nd grade bike education program, and Seattle Public Schools bike education program for K-8 students, are good examples. Start with #BalanceBikes and transition to pedal bikes, Use #TrafficGardens and then transition to city streets.

Yes, Cascade Bicycle Club is doing great things focused on supporting children biking in Seattle area, and connecting with schools to create equity, access, and inclusion for all kids learning how to bike. #BikeEd #TrafficGardens #BalanceBikes #BikeBus #IndependentMobility

This would have been laughable back in the 60s. At ten years old I was walking to multiple destinations by myself, or with friends. We need to encourage #IndependentMobility and include travel/transportation Ed in school. #BikeEd #TrafficGardens #BikeBus #WalkingSchoolBus #Transit field trips.

Clarence, I think these are great selection of programs. I would like to see #TrafficGardens added to the list as a way to get kids and parents involved in the effort. @finnbike.bsky.social is doing some great work helping kids and parents learn about the built environment, and develop bike skills.

Yes, and why we did need to introduce bike education in school, install #TrafficGardens, start kids off on #BalanceBikes at an early age, and provide opportunities for #BikeBus efforts across the country. Start building a foundation early for a lifelong healthy habit. #Biking #WellBeing

Nice to see confirmation that early childhood bike education, which supports children's development of traffic safety awareness, can have a long lasting impact. #TrafficGardens #BikeEducationInSchool #BikeBus @bikeleague.bsky.social

A mix of factors has created the perfect storm for #TrafficGardens to bloom all over Portland.

@PBOTinfo @MultCoHealth & @CoachBalto are getting into the act transforming schoolyards and parking lots into mini-n'hoods where kids can learn and play....
