Positive Spin is Rocking and Rolling
In case you missed it: Positive Spin is part of the BikePGH’s growing education line-up and we couldn’t be more excited.
Ryan Deto visited the Langely school site in Pittsburgh’s West End and has offered some great coverage of our most exciting and inspiring new program.
Last week, a group of 15 eager middle school students pedaled around the neighborhood streets of Sheraden in the West End, even along the busy Chartiers Avenue thoroughfare. They rode to a small park, and squealed in delight as they sped through the grass and circled the basketball court. For some of the kids, it was one of their first times on a bike.
By summer’s end, the students of Bike PGH’s Positive Spin program will ride from Sheraden to PNC Park, the South Side, and Point State Park. Those rides are about five miles and more than 400 feet in elevation change from the hilltop neighborhood; not an easy tour by anyone’s standard.
Positive Spin is a program designed to teach elementary and middle school students how to navigate safely through the streets, trails, and paths of Pittsburgh, so that they can reach parks, schools, and their homes without incident.
