OSWEGO COUNTY – Fairley Elementary School recently introduced an initiative to help its youngest learners develop essential bike-riding skills. Through the All Kids Bike program, pre-K and kindergarten students began learning how to ride bicycles as part of their physical education curriculum.
The All Kids Bike program provides students with balance bikes, helmets and a structured learning experience that gradually teaches them how to balance, steer, and eventually pedal a bicycle. This hands-on approach helps young students build confidence, improve motor skills, and develop lifelong healthy habits.
“This is an awesome program to our students,” said Fairley Elementary School PE teachers Tess Bennett-Piraino who co-teaches alongside Zack Servidone. “Learning to ride a bike is a rite of passage, and this program makes it accessible to every child in a fun and supportive environment.”
The All Kids Bike program is designed to provide equitable access to bike-riding education, ensuring all students have the opportunity to gain this important skill. With the guidance of their teachers, students participate in structured lessons that align with national physical education standards.
“It’s amazing to see the joy on our students’ faces as they gain confidence and master this new skill,” said Bennett-Piraino. “This program not only helps with physical development but also fosters independence and resilience.”
