About the Let’s Go Bicycle Education Program
The Statewide School-Based Bicycle Education Program is a multi-week bicycle curriculum for students in grades 3-8 that meets Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) Health & P.E. standards.
The Let’s Go Bicycle Education Program, which is taught in classrooms during P.E., is part of the Move Ahead Washington transportation bill, funded by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and administered by Cascade Bicycle Club (CBC) in partnership with the AESD Network.
The program was established in 2016 in Seattle Public Schools and is modeled after Cascade Bicycle Club’s (CBC) flagship “Let’s Go” curriculum. It is set to expand statewide to reach 90% of Washington students by 2039.
