Friday, October 21, 2011 at 11:01AM I am currently organizing a fund raising effort to try and continue to offer the FREE afteschool programs I have been conducting since I started back in October 2008.
Please check out www.bsafe24.com for more information on how to support BSAFE.
Sincerely,
Chris Ghiorse
Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 10:30PM On Saturday October 1st, BSAFE started it scholastic year by offering free bicycle riding lessons, over 30 children took advantage of this opportunity.
BSAFE (Bicycle Safety Awareness For Everyone) aims to provide free cycling education and events for all levels and abilities. During the school year BSAFE focuses primarily on 8-10 year old children, because studies have shown that the highest incidence of bike related accidents happen in the 11-12 year old age group.
The festival grounds provide the ideal area to teach and learn, thankfully I had some fantastic volunteers;

The positive recognition BSAFE has generated with the public is one of the main reasons I strive to carry on with the program.
Since starting the BSAFE (Bicycle Safety Awareness For Everyone) program in October 2008 BSAFE has managed to touch the lives of many children. Some of the accomplishments of this free program are:
Over 700 students have participated in a Level 1 class; ages 8 to 11, each of these students was given a helmet upon completion of the course.
Over 250 children have taken part in Learn to Ride weekends; ages 3 to 14.
Over 150 children participated in the Buzzbee race series; ages 5 to 15.
BSAFE has given away over $40,000 worth of equipment; bikes, t-shirts and most notably helmets. One may ask why I have I given so much away?
