Hi Thinkers,
From Calgary's Good Life Community Bike Shop and TWO WHEEL VIEW.
I am currently looking for a 9month Earn-a-Bike curriculum to be offered in schools, community centers and bike shops. Thus far I have found tools for running youth bike programs and short 10 week programs such as the Bikes Not Bombs manual but non that are so comprehensive as to span a years time.
Are any groups out there currently running any such programs, it would be great to avoid re-inventing the wheel, so to put it! Any help in the way of curriculum, teaching techniques and networking would be awesomely great!
I figured we need 32 weeks of curriculum to last the year, about 20 of that would involve mechanics sessions, the rest would be filled with bike rides, safety days, environmental awareness sessions and maybe bike art days.
Warm regards from the cool north,
Shannon
