December's Safe Cycling Course Recap



In case you missed it: On Christmas Eve,
Wecycle Atlanta had our Safe Cycling Course. Our Safe Cycling Course was created to provide lessons on bike safety. During this course, we provide a hands-on learning experience for bike maintenance, bike safety, and bike riding. We also encourage active engagement between the youth and their peers and parents. Our last Safe Cycling Course was a success! 



The youth came out and were taught how to maintenance their bikes, the proper hand signals, and the safest ways to ride.




Each kid took home a bike for completing our Wecycle Atlanta Safe Cycling Course. Thank you for helping us get more youth on W.H.E.E.L.S. 

Stay Tuned for information about our January course, details coming soon.
 Always remember to Do The Bike Thing!
