Bike education in California

This is so cool: The Amgen Tour of California has developed a special classroom curriculum for fourth- through sixth-grade students in the 16 California cities that will host the 2009 Tour.

Through interactive lessons, the educational handbook will teach students about the history of cycling and includes bike safety and maintenance tips. Provided to more than 60,000 students, the booklet also provides information about the State of California, including targeted lesson plans that use cycling as a means to teach core subjects.
