Decatur, IL – The City of Decatur Jasper Street Implementation Committee has launched a Learn & Earn Bike Program this summer to help Decatur youth learn to bike safely. Together with the Boys & Girls Club of Decatur, Inc., Decatur Bicycle Club, Hope Academy, and the U.S. Department of Transportation, we are supporting the vision of a protected bike lane infrastructure that will create a safer, more connected Decatur. The Learn & Earn Bike Program is an implementation project of Decatur’s Jasper Street Great Streets Great Neighborhoods Roadmap. It is funded in part by the USDOT’s Thriving Communities Program.
City launches Learn & Earn Bike Program for Decatur youth
Over the next several weeks, youth will learn how to safely ride a bicycle, get some practice riding, and eventually will earn a bike and helmet, provided by Decatur Bicycle Shoppe. Can’t wait to see their progress!
