SafeCyclist - A Safe Routes to School Education Component

Safe-Cyclist-Logo-Color-2010-WEBThe SafeCyclist Curriculum is a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian safety education curriculum designed for fourth and fifth grade elementary students. The SafeCyclist Certification Training provides teachers and youth community workers with bicycle and pedestrian safety skills and the curriculum needed to teach these life saving skills to their students.

This 15 lesson curriculum serves as the critical “Education Component” of a well-rounded Safe Routes to School Program. The lessons focus on rules of the road, safe cycling skills, strength building and stretching using fun physical exercises that are at least 15 minutes in length (as recommended by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education’s Physical Activity Guidelines). These activities aid physical education teachers and coaches in integrating bicycle safety education into their own state’s Physical Education objectives.

The SafeCyclist Curriculum (formerly Texas SuperCyclist) represents fifteen years of dedicated multi-organization support, work, research, and training. In 2010, the SafeCyclist Curriculum was developed in response to numerous requests from other states for a version that could be adopted by any state. The curriculum also includes new games and fun activities developed from the experiences of field instructors and educators who used the original Texas SuperCyclist Curriculum in past years.
