Assorted State, National, and International Resources


Includes an assortment of both print and video materials and link to primary site where all of this and more can be read/downloaded.
Ride Smart and Bike Safe, Bike Smart videos feature young hosts and simple messages.  
Print materials include Bikeology curriculum, some of which was used as the primary source material for the BIKE CLUB volunteer guides Jason and crew are assembling.
Bikeology is a complete curriculum, but can be mined for details beyond the BIKE CLUB Volunteer Guide.  Includes lots of "good stuff."
 
  Bicycle Safer Journey materials; video, on-line quiz, and link to teaching resources.
 
Short video with good general info about shared use path riding.
 
North Carolina's bike ed materials, both print and video.  
The two non-instructor videos, Get Ready to Ride and Bicycling Basics are hosted by teens and, though a bit long, at 17 minutes or so each, present good material in an engaging manner and include some questions for audience feedback.
The program videos, especially Teaching The Skill Building Activities, can be mined for teaching tips and ideas to use in any program.
 
A host of short, single-topic videos presenting all of the basics; includes ABC Quick Check, Starting and Stopping, Signaling, and more.  
Probably best for adults and young adults, but not bad for elementary kids.
Good to give volunteers a good idea of the skills we're attempting to teach the kids and have everyone singing from the same sheet of music.
 
Print materials including a full elementary curriculum developed in conjunction with the League of American Bicyclists
 
Another very complete curriculum and good source to mine for tips, tricks, drills, etc.
The video items are more for adults, but good and short introductions to various topics.
 
LInks to UK and Australian Programs ... great info, they just drive on the wrong side of the road!

Shifting Gears

 
 
 
 
 
This is the "C" from the ABC Quick Check
 
 
Parts of the bicycle drive train ... the "C" ...
 
 
View of your chain from ABOVE ... pedal on the left (Chain Rings) and back wheel hub on the right (Cassette / Freewheel).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Left control/shifts the FRONT derailleur ... Chain Rings (where the pedals attach)
Low numbers make it easier to pedal.
 
 
 
Right control/shifts the REAR derailleur ...Cassette/Freewheel
Low numbers make it easier to pedal.
Remember - Right is rear (both for gears and brakes)
 
 

 

Helmet Decoration

 
This video shows how to decorate your helmet using "paint" pens.  Though the paint pens have to be treated with care (tips can be easily damaged), this is a great project.

Vintage Bicycle Safety Videos

  
One Got Fat - 1963 Bicycle Safety film 14:47
A group of monkey-masked kids decide to ride their bikes to the park for a picnic. Along the way, one by one, the kids are knocked out of the ride due to careless or unsafe riding.
 
Boys explain to dad how riding their bicycles is the same as driving a car; same rules and responsibilities.
