RAPID CITY, S.D. – October 2, 2025 – All Kids Bike, the nonprofit organization on a mission to teach every child in America how to ride a bike, today announced a $100,000 contribution from Honda in support of their All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride Program. As a result, kindergarteners in communities near Honda operations will gain essential bike riding and traffic safety skills through this program. Associates from Honda will be volunteering to assemble bikes and participating in program deliveries to local elementary schools.
Each school will receive teacher training and certification, a comprehensive eight-lesson curriculum, a fleet of 24 Strider balance-to-pedal bikes, pedal conversion kits, fully adjustable helmets, an instructor bike with conversion kit and helmet, two rolling storage racks, and access to live support for the life of the program. The All Kids Bike Traffic Safety Kit expands the Learn-to-Ride PE curriculum with a fun, interactive, and educational environment for teaching children the rules of the road while they learn to ride. Perfectly paired with the All Kids Bike program, this kit helps young riders practice safe biking habits in a controlled setting that mirrors real-world experiences. Each kit includes:
- Stop Sign – Teaches riders when to come to a complete stop and look both ways.
- Yield Sign – Helps kids understand how to slow down and give the right of way.
- Pedestrian Crossing Sign – Reinforces the importance of watching for people walking across designated areas.
- Do Not Enter Sign – Guides riders to recognize restricted areas and safe directions of travel.
- Traffic Light – A child-friendly, functional light that introduces the concepts of red, yellow, and green signals to reinforce safe decision-making.
This kit provides hands-on learning opportunities that combine traffic awareness with practical riding experience. By incorporating real traffic symbols and signals, children not only gain confidence in their biking skills but also develop essential safety knowledge that will carry into their everyday lives.
“Providing traffic safety education to young students is vital to learning safe habits for life,” said Bobbie Trittschuh, charitable giving manager at Honda. “We are proud to partner with All Kids Bike to empower children with the skills, confidence, and awareness they need to ride – and eventually drive – safely in their communities.”
The funding aligns with Honda’s priority of supporting programs that promote safe driving practices, awareness and education aimed at ensuring the safety of everyone on and off the road.
“All Kids Bike is committed to giving every child in America the opportunity to learn to ride and ride safely,” said Lisa Weyer, Executive Director of All Kids Bike. “Thanks to this contribution from Honda, thousands of students will gain confidence, independence, and essential traffic safety skills that will serve them throughout their lives.”
Over the next decade, more than 15,000 thousand kindergarteners will learn to ride a bike from the All Kids Bike program, integrating bike riding and traffic safety into the schools’ PE curriculum and setting them on a path toward healthier, safer futures.
