youth bike program curricula needed!
hiya, everyone!
the good news is that sopo will be hosting a free teen night for our kids this summer.. with funding! we've got most things sorted out, but what we could really use are your curricula if you've got 'em. it would be easy to run through the list of basic to advanced bike maintenance skills over the course of the summer, but if you've developed something more creative and/or effective, and you're willing to share, that would be spectacular. of course, we'd acknowledge you in all communications about the program (on our website, in press releases, etc). likewise, if anyone wants a copy of the proposal we wrote, i would be happy to email it to you.
two wheels good, rachael
I would recommend getting some volunteers certified as League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) and teaching the Kids I and Kids II BikeEd courses. As far as I know it is the only nationally recognized program.

That is what we teach at the SLC Bicycle Collective.
Hi Everyone, I recently received this email from Florinda Cecchetto.any chance someone can help her out?
Hi, I'm heading to Mozambique in June to work with TCE, Total Control of the
Epidemic. This involves reaching out to those in the rural areas on foot,
or by bike to spread information and counsellling about HIV/AIDS. This
project is umbrellad by Humana People to People. One thing my project
leader asked for was bike repair kits. Is there an opportunity for a
partnership with your group to get these kits? Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you for your consideration of this....
Sincerely,
Florinda

What is all involved in a "bike repair kit"? Is this just a patch kit, tools to take with you in a saddle bag, or the works you would find in a bike shop consisting of repair stand. all the tools, a truing stand? How many bike repair kits are needed? How are you handling making the tubes more puncture resistant? Bruce of Recycle Bicycles
