BCCC a 501c3 public charity, is currently focused on teaching youth bicycle and pedestrian safety education. We are proud to partner with Safe Moves, another 501c3 that has been teaching bicycle and pedestrian safety for over two decades.

In 2022 and 2023, BCCC and Safe Moves have operated dozens of youth bike safety education “Bike Rodeos” teaching over 2,000 4th and 5th graders in South Bay school districts (eg Hermosa, Manhattan, and Redondo Beach) as well as adjacent areas (Inglewood, Hawthorne).

Given our success in the three South Bay School Districts, we are now offering our Youth Bike Safety Education Program to other nearby school districts such as Inglewood, Hawthorne, and Wiseburn - at NO COST! Hermosa Superintendent Jason Johnson was quoted as saying: “Bicycle riding is fun, healthy, and a great way to be independent, but it is important to remember that a bicycle is not a toy; it’s a vehicle. The bike rodeo will help students understand about traffic, driver behavior, their rights, and their role in staying safe.” Safe Moves bike rodeos feature a miniature city with streets, intersections, bike lanes, cars, trucks, traffic signs, neighborhoods, and a business district to simulate real life traffic hazards for student bicyclists. |
