OUTRIDE RIDING FOR FOCUS
Outride’s Riding for Focus school-based cycling program uses cycling as a tool for middle school and junior high students to achieve academic, health, and social success. The program is designed to provide middle schools with everything they need to get their 6-8 grade students riding; includes bikes, helmets, starter maintenance equipment, and training. Utilizing a fleet of bikes and an easy-to-follow curriculum, middle school students learn riding etiquette, fitness and training concepts, decision-making, and bike handling skills.
Trailblazers partnered with Outride with support from the Walton Family Foundation to further expand our education initiative. The Riding for Focus program was awarded to 6 middle schools in Northwest Arkansas in the Fall of 2020 and Spring of 2021.
The schools each received a fleet of 34 bikes, helmets, maintenance equipment, in-depth curriculum training, and access to a 12-unit curriculum with ongoing program support. More than 2,000 children per year are impacted by this program.
The program became an instant favorite among students and staff for its positive impact on the students’ mental, social, and physical well-being.
