We’re proud to announce that Ever Active Schools has sponsored this season’s youth earn-a-bike program, the Spoke! Thank you to the Edmonton Community Foundation for funding this initiative.

Ever Active Schools is a registered national charity designed to create and support healthy school communities. They address health and education goals to improve the social outcomes of children and youth in Alberta.

Ever Active Schools provides excellent cycling education through their City Cycling Clinics in the spring, summer, and fall. Youth learn bike handling skills, rules of riding, and how to navigate Edmonton’s cycling infrastructure. Bike Edmonton plays a part in delivering the City Cycling Clinics.

The Spoke is a program of Bike Edmonton. It’s a bike repair and adventure program in which youth ages 12-17 years old inclusive learn introductory bike repair skills and on-road skills with the help of our volunteer mentors. This season, the Spoke combines mechanical learning with Ever Active School's bike clinic and riding curriculum to foster even more self-reliance and joy in bike riding.

Learning both mechanical and on-road cycling skills equips youth with the confidence and knowledge they need to embrace cycling. Bike Edmonton is delighted once again to collaborate with Ever Active Schools to produce programming that fosters activity, resilience, independence, health, and fun for youth!
