Helmets on PE Nation!

In this episode we explore how to create a bike program for PE classes. Learning to ride bikes in PE class gives students both essential physical skills and valuable road safety knowledge while creating memorable experiences.

• Started with a one-day professional development course on biking for PE teachers
• District offered a bike trailer program with bikes and scooters for schools
• Created obstacle courses teaching road safety, signals, and proper crossing techniques
• Students learned through both structured activities and free riding time
• Used hairnets under helmets to address hygiene concerns
• When district funding ended, began planning a DIY approach through donations
• Storage remains the biggest challenge - considering outdoor shed options
• Looking into grants, PTO funding, and police department helmet programs
• Applies to any PE activity: "If you dream it, build it, make it work, make it happen"


Let's ride,

Dave
