What we aim to solve
Bike riding is a key developmental milestone for children and an essential life skill that provides numerous benefits for fitness, mental health, exercise and transportation. Learning how to ride in kindergarten aids in the development of a child’s gross motor skills, judgment and confidence. Teaching children how to ride, using Strider Balance Bikes, minimizes fear and removes the stress of learning as an older child or adult. Due to many societal and economic changes over the years, fewer children are learning how to ride a bike. All Kids Bike provides an opportunity that many students would not have otherwise. Our impact is furthered by partnering with schools across the country, especially those that serve underprivileged communities and more vulnerable populations. By providing schools with the bikes, helmets, storage racks, teacher training, and curriculum to achieve the goal of teaching kindergartners to ride, our comprehensive programming delivers on our mission every year.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Program
The All Kids Bike Learn-to-Ride Kindergarten PE Program is on a mission to give every child in America the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike. The program comes with a fleet of 24 Strider Balance Bikes, pedal conversion kits, helmets, an instructional bike for the teacher, equipment storage racks, complete curriculum and teacher training aligned to SHAPE PE Standards, plus resource portal access and live support for the life of the program.
There are eight easy to follow lessons. The first five classes are in balance mode, where students learn the basics of balance by striding, leaning, and maneuvering through turns. They develop spatial awareness, gain the confidence to lift both feet up and glide, and learn how to follow the leader. The last three classes are in pedal mode where students learn how to pedal and pilot the bike.
All Kids Bike Inclusive Learning Program
Staying true to our mission, we want to teach all abilities how to ride a bike.
Cycling is crucial for individuals with disabilities, providing mobility and promoting health. The lack of knowledge and awareness surrounding cycling as a mobility aid creates significant barriers for disabled individuals in accessing public spaces and facilities.
The All Kids Bike Inclusive Learn-to-Ride Program provides schools and organizations, such as Special Olympics, the equipment and training needed to give everyone the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike regardless of their physical abilities, age, or background.
There is a one-time cost of $5,000 for a program with a 7-10 year lifespan that includes 8 Strider Balance Bikes (bike sizes to choose from are the Strider 20 inch bike and/or 14 inch bike), pedal conversion kits, helmets, and complete curriculum and teacher training.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The All Kids Bike Learn-to-Ride Kindergarten PE Program launched in 2018 with a simple mission: give every child in America the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike.
The All Kids Bike Learn-to-Ride Kindergarten PE Program helps students develop physically and mentally, gives them greater confidence, reduces stress, and provides better focus. Being active is the best medicine to counteract obesity and other diseases associated with being overweight. The benefits of the Kindergarten Learn-to-Ride PE Program start immediately and last a lifetime, giving enhanced attention and engagement in the classroom, amplified confidence and resilience, and the life skill of knowing how to ride a bicycle for transportation, health, and sport.
We are trying to imagine a better world for every child!
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
All Kids Bike aligns with the SHAPE America National PE Standards. We deliver superior balance bikes and a proven Learn-To-Ride curriculum to schools to teach children how to ride in Kindergarten PE class.
Our strategies for success include:
- Seeking donations from individuals, businesses, organizations and government entities who are dedicated to improving their local communities.
- Outreach to schools to gain interest and provide education about the benefits of learning to ride a bike.
- Providing programs for all abilities and ages.
- Understanding children’s health statistics and the benefits of bike riding.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Substantially underwritten by the Strider Education Foundation, All Kids Bike Learn-to-Ride Kindergarten PE Programs are active in over 1,000 schools across all 50 states, teaching more than 100,000 kids to ride each year.
The value of the All Kids Bike Kindergarten Learn-to-Ride PE Program including curriculum and equipment is $18,849. However, with substantial support from the Strider Education Foundation, the cost to schools is a one-time $9,000 investment.
Sourcing bikes from Strider Sports International, we can count on having inventory for schools that receive sufficient funding. By introducing bicycle riding to students as part of kindergarten physical education, utilizing the revolutionary Strider 14x Learn-To- Ride Bike in balance mode, children and teachers progress through the riding process (learning to balance and steer) void of fear and full of encouragement.
"This was the most fulfilling event we've ever done or been a part of, thank you!" - Amanda Bramble, Indian Motorcycle St. Paul / Indian Motorcycle Riders Group
"It's amazing to see how transformational this experience is for the kids in my classes. I'm not talking about physical skills only; they are gaining tons of physical skills with this program, but I'm seeing emotional and social growth like nothing I have seen in my twenty years of teaching physical education." - Cathi Dallesander, PE Teacher, North Street School, CT
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since our beginning in 2017, we have partnered with 1000 schools across all 50 states who now teach 107,000+ kids/year to ride a bike. But with 100+ schools in the funding queue (and more reaching out each day), our work is not done. Our goal is to impact 1 million kids.
