RIDING FOR FOCUS
Integrating cycling into the physical education curriculum as a means to help students achieve academic, health, and social success.
EXAMPLES OF HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
Start a Riding for Focus program
Getting a new cycling program launched at a Middle School is inherently challenging in itself, now add cycling off campus and whew, it can be daunting. That is why The Specialized Foundation created Riding for Focus, a turn key Physical Education cycling program with lesson plans, teacher training, and a state-of-the-art learning management system and the equipment to get rolling: bikes, helmets, and startup maintenance equipment. Help your school stand out and get more kids pedaling forward!
Support an Existing program
Chaboya Middle School, San Jose, CA has been a Riding for Focus school since 2016.

This encourages cycling plus participation in local rides and cycling events. Help support CMS to add a bikes skills park that includes skinnies, pump track, and on campus.
