For the second time, Bici Centro offered a Pedal Power program at La Colina Junior High.
During this 6 week course, students get out and explore Santa Barbara by bicycle while learning safe riding skills, basic bike maintenance, and self confidence. They also learn about different aspects of biking such as using a bike blender to make a drink, doing tricks on a BMX or using a bike for travels. Thank you to our volunteers who helped new riders to improve their skills and our guest speakers from Bici Centro and Cranky's. http://bicicentro.org/youth
