Rundlett Middle School

A new bicycle education program coming to Rundlett Middle School, bringing students the mental, physical, and social benefits of the bike.

Rundlett Middle School will be teaching students to ride bikes through Riding For Focus (R4F), a program that uses cycling as a tool in the classroom to get kids moving, help increase student motivation and focus, and improve their well-being.

Scott Lewis and Sue Farrelly,  R4F Champions, and school staff will receive a fleet of Specialized bikes and helmets in late summer as recipients of a Riding For Focus program grant.

Riding For Focus (R4F) was developed by Outride, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of youth through cycling. Outride’s Riding For Focus program, research, and community grants harness the benefits of cycling for the cognitive, socio-emotional, and physical well-being of youth and their communities.

A Riding For Focus grant provides schools with everything needed to get 6th-8th grade students riding, including bikes, helmets, teacher training, and curriculum. Rundlett joins over 225 middle schools across the US and Canada that have implemented the program, impacting over 50,000 students annually.
