Sorry, the link that I provided for the learn-to-ride method in my previous e-mail was wrong. I meant to point you to this REI video,<http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/teach-child-to-ride-a-bike.html#ooid=UxcGJzMTol1Qe2jKwM24Tm2smH3d1cex> not to ebay to buy painter's caps.
Although, if you have several hundred painter's caps or surgeon's caps to spare, I would love to take them off your hands (for kids to wear under the bike helmets they will be using)! --Sonia On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 5:45 PM, Sonia Dubielzig < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Does anyone on the bikies list have the willingness to help middle-school > kids to "learn to ride" this spring and fall? > > Phy Ed teachers at Spring Harbor, Jefferson, Blackhawk, and Toki middle > schools will be implementing a bike safety unit in their PE classes this > April and May, and in September and October, too.
