Dong Ngo’s Cycling Pals offers an after-school Bike Club open to 3rd to 5th grade students. We have been successful in recruiting more girls to join bike club. In bike club students learn basic repair skills such as fixing a flat tire. One of the biggest impact of bike club is the teaching of bike handling and safety skills. To help with this 2 members of our team are certified MTB coaches.  During bike club we promote safety and it is required to wear a helmet. We make sure students know how to properly fit a helmet using the two-finger rule and at the start of every class we have the kids complete the ABC (Air, Brake, Chain) checklist to assure their bike is ready to ride.

To help assure more kids can join bike club we have bikes to loan students while in bike club, and give each kid a helmet. We have been able to get bikes donated and gift them to kids who did not own a bike. Bike club has been a success, it helps to boost kids confidence level, and more importantly gets them outdoors for some much needed fun.
