The Basics of Bicycling is a new, on-bike curriculum designed to give fourth grade elementary school-age children the basic knowledge and skills they need to be responsible and safe bicyclists. The purpose of this project was to conduct an evaluation of this curriculum. The evaluation included a field assessment of the implementation of the curriculum in an actual school setting and an evaluation of its effectiveness in increasing children's bicycling knowledge and riding skills. It also examined the impact of the curriculum on children's injury experience over a three-month period during the summer. (A)
