Why Go Bike

Riding That Builds More Than Fitness

Go Bike encourages physical activity, enjoyment of our natural surroundings, and lifelong habits of healthy mobility — integrating cycling into the educational and community experience.

We've created protected campus spaces and a guided program so students develop skills, confidence, and joy on a bike as part of their everyday school life.

Movement

Daily physical activity that's purposeful, fun, and woven into the school routine.

Health

Cardiovascular fitness, balance, and motor skills developed in a low-impact, joyful way.

Community

Shared rides, shared routes — students, families, and staff connecting through movement.

Confidence

Skills built progressively, with supervision and structure — so every rider grows into the experience.

Built into the School Day

Part of the Sport & Recreation Curriculum

Go Bike is integrated into our Sport & Recreation classes from 4th grade through 12th grade. Students don't just ride — they learn through cycling, building physical literacy, road awareness, and personal responsibility along the way.

Where Riding Happens

Designated Campus Routes Only

All riding takes place inside the school campus, on paved internal roads and a clearly marked bike route. Students never ride off-campus during program activities.

Marked Bike Route

A defined cycling path that loops through the safest, most scenic parts of the campus.

Paved Internal Roads

Smooth, low-traffic asphalt designed for safe, predictable riding.

Designated Parking

Bikes return to a dedicated parking area after every ride — kept secure, organized, and ready for the next class.

Non-Negotiable

Safety First, Always

Every ride follows clear, consistent rules — so students stay safe and parents stay confident.

Helmet Always

Every rider wears an approved helmet — students, staff, and parents alike. No helmet, no ride.

Always Supervised

Student riding is supervised by a teacher or coach during class, club, or training time. No unsupervised use.

Proper Footwear

Closed-toe athletic shoes only. No sandals, no crocs — keeping feet safe on every pedal stroke.

Campus-Only Riding

Bikes never leave the school campus. Riding stays inside the gates, on approved routes only.

Report Any Issue

Riders report any concern or damage immediately to the Physical Education team — bikes are checked before they go back into rotation.

Return After Use

Every bike returns to its parking spot right after the ride — clean, accounted for, and ready for the next rider.

For the Whole Community

Bikes Reserved for Parents & Staff

Go Bike isn't just for students. A small portion of the fleet is set aside for parents and staff to enjoy during lunch breaks or free time on campus — so the whole community shares the experience.

  • Available during free periods, when not in use by classes
  • Recreational use only — same campus routes, same safety rules
  • Helmet required, return to the parking area after the ride
Trusted Care

Bikes Inspected, Maintained, Ready

Every bike in the fleet is part of a structured maintenance program — inspected, cleaned, and serviced on a regular schedule by the school's facilities team. Riders get a bike that's safe, clean, and reliable, every time.

Routine Inspections

Brakes, gears, and tires checked on a regular schedule so issues are caught before a ride.

Cleaned & Lubricated

Clean frames and well-maintained drivetrains keep bikes performing smoothly all year round.

Tracked Per Bike

Every bike has its own service record, so the team knows exactly when it was last cared for.

Oversight by the Physical Education department, supported by campus facilities staff.
