Every Kid Deserves a Bike: Supporting Youth in South San Francisco
For the third year, the City of
South San Francisco kicked off the Every Kid Deserves
a Bike program. This program gives kids from low-income
families in some South San Francisco schools a chance to get
outside and grow by giving them free bikes and support. Students
not only get a new bike, but they also receive bike adjustments
from BikeMobile, a local nonprofit. They also get a helmet
properly fitted to their head by volunteers. Additionally,
students can register their bikes on-site with the South San
Francisco Police Department. Students also participate in a bike
safety course, and volunteers teach and help those who don’t know
how to ride.
