Kids I is a nationally recognized curriculum created by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) and taught by our League Certified Instructors (LCIs).

Kids I can be taught as a on-hour course specifically for parents or a three-hour course for parents and children.  Either way the concentration is on the parents, as they (you!) have the greatest impact in their child's safety.

  • To ride with traffic on the right side of the street.
