I am writing to thank those involved in the Every Kid Deserves a Bike program. My son is a fourth grade student at *** in South San Francisco. I realize this program aims to help those who can not afford a new bike, but I wanted to write this letter to thank you and let you know what an enormous difference this program makes to another group of students. My son is autistic and has a history of social awkwardness, and weakness with some fine and gross motor skills at times. He was late to making friends in life, finding his way in social situations, and very late to learning to ride a bike despite occupational therapy and physical therapy. When friends or family members opt to ride their bikes, our son usually refuses. Recently, something shifted after his wonderful teacher, Ms. ***, and principal, Ms. ***, mentioned that his entire grade would be getting new bikes from the city. He felt a sense of honor and pride that his class was being gifted these new bikes. His classmates all started talking about bike riding and he was desperate to be included and keep up. He insisted on practicing or "training" every day after school on his old bike for the upcoming bike "challenge." We saw a newly motivated kid start trying to get better at his old bike so he could ride with his classmates on bike day. Our boy talked and counted the days until visitors delivered the new bikes to his school. Now bike rides after school are a routine part of his day. He has met up with his classmate on the weekends for bike rides on Centennial Path. We can not thank you enough for this wonderful program. It not only provides for those in reduced circumstances, but helps bring students with a variety of abilities and disabilities together, encouraging them to be physically active and socialize in the outdoors. It is a program that helps in a variety of ways. Countless times my husband and I encouraged bike riding, but it was through this program and seeing all of his peers jump on their new bikes that our son wanted to keep up and be a part of it, to be included. Thank you for this wonderful program and all of your efforts on the part of our school and community. 13 Next Year… Inventory: Bicycles: 206 Helmets: 213 Locks: 306 Pumps: 246 Toolkits: 160 Prior to bicycle distributions: Learn-to-ride events Train volunteers Bicycle safety curriculum Eliminate the “Glam Station” Review safe routes to school Confirm how bicycles are transported home Ensure bicycles are utilized 14 This is a Collaborative Effort 15 City of South San Francisco Legislation Text P.O.
