Thank you for joining us for Virtual Youth Earn-a-Bike Class!
If you found this page but have not registered, please email youth@bicas.org to inquire about getting started.
How it works
We have 3 “classes” prepared for you, which include presentations, activities, and quizzes covering the topics from each class. The material is intended to give you a general understanding of bicycles, their parts, how they work, and how to safely ride in the streets. It won’t teach you everything there is to know about bikes, but it will give you a great foundation in case you want to come into the shop and learn more in the future!
You can access the class content via the links below. You will find the quiz links at the end of each class. Once you have completed all three quizzes and the Student Information Sheet an instructor will check your work and if you said that you need a bike when you registered, we will start tuning one up for you! If you have questions at any time you can check in with our youth programs department by email: youth@bicas.orgReady to get started? Click the first link below!
