Read, Write & Ride®
Bike Elf introduces Read, Write & Ride with Bike Elf. Read, Write & Ride is a campaign Bike Elf uses to incentivize children using refurbished bicycles and recognizing education, community service and sports achievements.
As a start to the Read, Write & Ride with Bike Elf initiative, several puzzles and bicycle-related lessons have been created to get everybody interested in learning. Not just learning, but learning about bicycles!
Read, Write & Ride lessons are designed to create a greater awareness, understanding, and appreciation of bicycling and bicycling’s influence on our lives for students throughout the state of Tennessee and beyond. The Fourth-Grade Curriculum is just the beginning of educational resource material and learning incentives that Read, Write & Ride with Bike Elf plans to offer in the months and years ahead.
Students “Step Up” to the contract
Bike Elf volunteers measure students and have them sign “Step Up and Earn a Bike” posters
Students “Step Up and Earn a Bike” by being measured for a bicycle against 5-foot tall posters and signing their name at their height on the poster as a symbol of their contract with Bike Elf to work toward the goal. Ideally, the signed “Step Up” posters remain visible to students for the entire goal time frame as a reminder of the contract and as a motivational tool for working toward goal attainment.
