My Project

Our school needs some new bicycles to use during gym and recess times. Not only is bicycle riding important in the development of motor coordination, strength, and endurance, but it is also a common form of physical activity that supports a child's development of self-esteem. Learning to cycle is an important milestone in a child's life, so it is important to allow them to explore cycling. Riding a bike helps children develop confidence, which is essential when exploring their independence. Once mastered, bike riding is a skill that will stay with a child for their lifetime.
